Ja'Marr Chase Signs Massive Extension, Targets Championship

Ja'Marr Chase signed a four-year, $161-million deal with the Cincinnati Bengals on Tuesday. This makes him the league's highest-paid non-quarterback.

The Bengals announced the contract extensions with Chase and Tee Higgins. Higgins agreed to a four-year, $115-million contract.

Chase described Higgins as Cincy's "1A" receiver. He remains confident that the Bengals' core can still win a Super Bowl.

The Bengals have missed the playoffs twice despite their standout offense. Chase praised quarterback Joe Burrow, saying his public statements urging the Bengals to keep their top weapons were "a big help".

The Bengals and their elite trio won the AFC during the 2021 season. They reached the franchise's first Super Bowl in over three decades but fell short against the Los Angeles Rams.

Chase said "Win a championship. That's all I can think about" on Tuesday. He also said "It's possible. We did already. We know what it smells like".

Head coach Zac Taylor says the team is now focused on winning a Super Bowl with its standout duo. Taylor said "The next step is a championship with these guys".

Higgins admitted that there were "a lot of moments" in which he thought he wouldn't get a new deal from the Bengals. He likely would've become WR1 if the Bengals had traded him to another team.

Chase became the league's highest-paid non-quarterback by inking the massive deal. The Bengals reportedly agreed to the extensions on Sunday.

The Bengals have a strong core led by quarterback Joe Burrow. Chase and Higgins will take on bigger leadership roles.

Higgins said "I grew up a Bengals fan and to have the opportunity to sign a four-year deal with my favorite team that I grew up watching, I mean, that's a dream come true".

The Bengals are focused on winning a championship. Chase and Higgins will play a key part in this goal.

Chase and Higgins signed their deals on the same day. They will now focus on winning a Super Bowl together.

The Bengals' fans are excited about the new deals. They hope that Chase and Higgins can lead the team to a championship.

Chase is a first-team All-Pro. He captured a rare receiving triple crown this past season.

The Bengals have a strong team. They will try to win a Super Bowl with Chase and Higgins leading the way.
