\"Ja'Marr<\/p>\n

Cincinnati Bengals\u00a0wide receiver\u00a0Ja\u2019Marr Chase\u00a0is looking to reset the market and become the highest-paid non-quarterback in the league.<\/p>\n

Chase, a four-time Pro Bowler, is in the last year of his rookie contract that will pay him $21.8 million in 2025.<\/p>\n

With Chase\u2019s free agency looming, the Bengals don\u2019t want to let one of the best playmakers in the league get away and are working on a contract extension with him. However, he\u2019s not the only wide receiver the franchise is looking to keep as 26-year-old\u00a0Tee Higgins\u00a0is a free agent. The Bengals used the franchise tag on Higgins in 2024 and could do the same again this year, though they prefer to get a long-term deal done.<\/p>\n

The Bengals currently have $61.5 million in cap space, according to\u00a0OverTheCap.com.<\/p>\n

How close is Ja\u2019Marr Chase to contract extension with Cincinnati Bengals?<\/h2>\n

\"Credit:<\/p>\n

The Athletic\u2019s Dianna Russini reports\u00a0that the Bengals have made an offer to Chase\u2019s camp, but they haven\u2019t come close to what the wide receiver wants.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn offer has been made by Cincinnati, but the two sides remain far apart in talks for now,\u201d Russini notes.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s still plenty of time to get a deal done, but it is worrisome that they remain \u201cfar apart\u201d regarding money. If the Bengals aren\u2019t willing to back up the Brinks truck for Chase, Cincinnati\u2019s future would look dim without\u00a0Joe Burrow\u00a0throwing to one of the top receivers in the NFL.<\/p>\n

Chase is coming off an All-Pro season where he led the league in receptions (127), receiving yards (1,708), receiving touchdowns (17), and receiving yards per game (100.5). Over four seasons with Cincinnati, Chase has accumulated 395 catches for 5,425 receiving yards and 46 touchdowns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
