WR Ja’Marr Chase of the Cincinnati Bengals wants to observe the market before considering an extension.
Before considering a contract, wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase of the Cincinnati Bengals wants to observe the new wide receiver market. In order to reshape the wide receiver market, Chase is anticipated to sign an extension this summer.
The Bengals’ most important offseason choice is probably going to be Chase’s deal. For many years to come, the organization hopes to keep Chase with quarterback Joe Burrow. However Burrow’s $275 million, five-year contract is making the team’s pay cap more difficult to manage. Chase’s extension will make the problem worse.
Chase stated that he wants to sign an extension this offseason but is unsure whether that can be accomplished, according to Kelsey Conway of USA Today. One thing stopping Chase from agreeing to a deal? Chase wants Justin Jefferson, a wide receiver for the Minnesota Vikings, to sign with the team first so Cincinnati can give him a bigger bag:
Chase wants his cost to be covered by the Cincinnati Bengals.
Ja’Marr Chase, who is always brutally honest, said, “Lord knows I want to do that,” when I asked if he wanted to finish his contract extension this summer. Well, but we’ll have to wait and see. Do you need Justin Jefferson’s completed work before you sign? “Hell yes.”
