He's leading the NFL in sacks now. He has 1 more year on his contract. Pretty obvious the Bengals need to pay him and extend him.
Ja'Marr Chase has 1 year left on his contract. They were unable to work out an extension this offseason. His value likely went up.
Tee Higgins is under the franchise tag this year.
This is 3 of the top 5 players on the team.
These guys are going to want a lot of guaranteed money, and I think it's going to be hard for the Bengals to pay that.
Thoughts...
I think you'll see Ja'marr go after a large contract, and the Bengals have to sign him this off season. Tee will not be a Bengal next season. He'll leave as a FA. Trey Hendrickson will get resigned to a larger contract as well.
The Bengals need to have a successful 2025 because of the contract with the city/county, season ticket holders, and sponsors.
I think the P&G sponsorship this year will really help with those contracts and signing bonuses as well.
