Ja'Marr Chase

Bengals signed Ja’Marr Chase to a four-year, $161 million contract extension, making him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history.

FOX Sports’ Jordan Schultz reports that Chase’s deal includes $112 million in guaranteed money. He is now under contract through 2029. The Bengals signed Tee Higgins to a four-year deal as well, preserving their elite one-two punch at wide receiver while making Joe Burrow a very happy man. Chase finished as the overall WR1 in PPR formats last year, scoring 403.0 fantasy points by catching 127-of-171 targets for 1,708 yards and 17 touchdowns. Chase turned 25 years old on March 1. He has a strong case for being the No. 1 overall pick in 2025 fantasy drafts.
