Reactions: Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins contract extensions done

[ASFN Admin]

Cincinnati Bengals fans read multiple reports last week that the team was close to announcing contract extensions with star receivers Tee Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase.

After news late Sunday night confirmed by The Enquirer's Kelsey Conway, many will wake up Monday morning to find out that Chase's new four-year deal makes him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history, and Higgins' new four-year deal means he will not play on the franchise tag after all.

Conway added that the team's plan all along was to announce the deals simultaneously.

I can’t believe Cincy got Chase and Higgins both done…

CONGRATS TO BENGALS FANS.. your team is spending.

Now…

What do they do with the rest of the salary cap? Can Cincy make it back to Super Bowl convo?

The @Enquirer can confirm that the Bengals and Ja'Marr Chase/ Tee Higgins agreed to the terms of new contracts on Sunday.

NFL agent Rocky Arceneaux negotiated the contracts for both and the plan was always to announce both contracts together
