In a major offseason move, the Cincinnati Bengals have locked up their star receiving duo of Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins with a combined $276 million in new contracts. Chase inked a four-year, $161 million deal, while Higgins secured a four-year, $115 million agreement.
The Bengals are now banking on Chase and Higgins to solidify their status as the top wideout pairing in the league and help the team return to the playoffs in 2023 after missing the postseason last year. The duo is eager to prove their worth, with Chase stating, "We can't dwell on what we did in 2021 and 2022. So like I said, we have to show it all over again and just prove ourselves."
Chase is coming off a dominant 2022 campaign in which he led the NFL in catches, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns, while Higgins has emerged as a reliable target despite battling injuries in recent seasons. The Bengals are hopeful that with both players locked up long-term, they can maximize the potential of this dynamic receiving corps and make another deep playoff run.
