BREAKING: #Bengals WRs Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins exclusively tell me they’ve agreed to contract extensions with the team.

Ja'Marr gets: 4-years, $161M with $112M guaranteed — making him the highest-paid non-QB in NFL history.

Probably deserves a new thread, tbh.

Agreed and that's great to have a happy trio.

Or perhaps a mod could update the title of this one

That was the other option. 

But having 13 pages of preamble unrelated to the contract signed seems like bad thread housekeeping. 

Maybe another mod disagrees.

Of course I don't think a middling Defense is ideal lmao!!!

Was just saying what I believe. We hung with the Eagles and were tied for 3 quarters last season before the wheels fell off.

If we have any semblance of a running game and a decent Defense we can beat them with Joe Burrow is all I am saying.
