Cincinnati -NFL’s two most famous broadcasters will be with Cincinnati Bengal for the near future.
Ja’marr Chase and Tee Higgins told Fox Sports that they agreed to extend the contract on Sunday. CHASE agreed to $ 160 million for four years, including $ 111 million of $ 110 million, and Higgins agreed to $ 115 million over the first four years in the first two years.
Chase’s Deal set an average of $ 42 million annually and NFL records in the non -quarterback.
This contract concludes the years of negotiations for each player. And Quarter Back Joe Burrow, who advocates Chase and Higgins to sign a new contract, has now secured his best goal.
“We have the same person [Chase] “Burrow told ESPN in the January professional game.
Chase, who turns 25 years old on March 1, comes from one of the best seasons by receivers in NFL history. After the merger of the AFL-NFL in 1970, he won the Triple Crown, leading all the players of the reception 127, receiving the yard (1,708) and touching (17).
Higgins, 26, was interrupted by injuries last season, but was still productive in the field. According to ESPN Research, he was ranked 10th in the game (75.9) per game. He also took 10 touchdowns in 12 appearances.
Each player has received team control during the upcoming season. Chase was in the last year of his rookie transaction. Bengal has deployed a franchise tag in Higgins for two consecutive years.
But a lot of shocks were caused by the method used by the team to control the benefits of the two players.
HIGGINS first asked for a transaction after the franchise tag for the first time ahead of the free agency period in 2024. The second round pick of the 2020 draft was finally decided to play in the tag last season.
A few months later, CHASE carried out a “hold in” who did not participate in the team during the training camp. He finished the deadlock with the club ahead of the first game of the season.
Both players were ultimately rewarded not only for their previous efforts, but also for bringing them to the team in the future.
“We are paying for what they can give us,” said Duke Tobin’s player director, said in the League Scout Combine. “We are not paying people for what they have already done.”
Tobin, the team’s actual general manager, also wanted to give Bengal a historic contract to Chase. CHASE’s record for the non -quarterback recently broke the mark that Cleveland Brown’s defender End Miles Garrett has briefly possessed.
And all the problems from the first negotiations between Bengal and Chase told ESPN’s Adam ScheFter that CHASE felt Misled.
Bengal’s coach Zac Taylor at Scouting Combine said that he and Chase have a “good relationship” that includes Star receiver’s ability to provide feedback on the team’s aggressive play collar.
Taylor said, “Ja’marr does not give off the answer you don’t think because you want a ball, but do great things.” “There was time he had to say. But it is our job to be in a position to be in contact early in all games.”
Last season, Bengal boasted one of the most efficient crimes in the league. Cincinnati ranked 8th per drive, sixth per drive, and fourth in the touchdown per pass.
Bengal was not enough to not miss the second consecutive season’s playoffs. The repetitive playoff stones occurred after a continuous trip to the AFC championship game, including the victory of the Chase ‘S Rookie season and the Super Bowl in 2021.
Cincinnati, along with Chase and Higgins, has a playmaker that can rebuild its position as a title competitor.
