The Cincinnati Bengals doing a big-money contract extension with Ja’Marr Chase seems an obvious event for the franchise this offseason. Fresh off the team’s botching of it before last season, to the point reports said Chase felt misled, the star wideout went and won a triple crown, only upping his value.

A big part of that is Ja’Marr Chase, who is past due for his first contract extension since being drafted by Cincinnati in 2021. After failing to get Chase extended prior to the 2024 season, the Bengals will likely have to pay him even more following his Triple Crown season.
