"If they want to keep all three players, they gotta get to $40 million per year for Ja'Marr, $30 million per year for Tee and about $32-33 million for Trey," Meirov said on the Drop the Mic podcast. "They're nowhere close on all three right now."
Meirov said that the Bengals are in the $36-37 million range for Chase. Meanwhile, the Bengals tagged Higgins for $26.179 million.
Those are the two contracts that need to come together in the near future. If the Bengals can lower Higgins cap number ($26.179 million) before free agency next week, it would be ideal. The same goes for Chase, who's set to make $21.8 million this season. Finding a way to get those contracts in place before free agency would give the Bengals more cap space to work with to sign outside talent.

If you’re that close, just get it done, before free agency. Don’t pick pepper out of fly shi*.
Draft better.
