Bengals Urged to Reward Joe Burrow With Highest Honor After Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins’ $276M Extensions Confirmed

A few days back, the Bengals front office was confused. They were struggling with cap space. But then entered their quarterback, Joe Burrow. The signal caller declared his openness to a contract restructure. He was doing it for the entire 2024 season. Last month, he gave the final push by openly calling for adjustments. He also praised the Eagles for paying everyone on the roster, which paid off well with the SB LIX victory. Ultimately, Joe Burrow’s management gave in to his demands and granted massive contracts to both receivers.

Once the deal was finalized, the fanbase was happy. They hailed the QB as the hero of the latest move. Podcaster Charlie Goldsmith sat down with the FOX reporter Joe Danneman for a discussion. He credited the QB as the reason behind both contracts and demanded the highest honor by saying, “Joe Burrow, you can put him up as an executive in the ring of honor. I don’t think either of these deals gets done if you don’t have Joe Burrow.”

It might affect his contract as well. He claimed that he was open to the Bengals altering his contract. The QB signed a 5-year $275 million deal. 2025 is his first year, with $46 million cap number. But the exact details are not out yet. Yet, the Bengals will definitely have to do something.

A few hours after they announced the deals, many legends questioned the remaining space. DE Trey Hendrickson is also waiting for the deal. The front office has turned their attention to the defense as the DE’s agent confirmed they were talking. But the insiders claim that he is on his way out and will sign a deal with any other team.

While the front office looks into the cap space and other factors, the receivers are happy. Even the fans are happy that they have a Super Bowl caliber team. That’s truly great!

Joe Burrow’s receivers get $276 million deal

The NFL insider Jordan Schultz was the one who broke the news about the contract extension of WRs, Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. Not only that, he had more bombshells on his sleeve. On the March 17 episode of SPEAK, he revealed insider news.

After talking to Bengals players, he said, “I was with both guys’ last night and really, I asked them why was it so important to get it done together. And why was it so important to get it done with Cincinnati and what I heard was we felt like this was a very special trio with Joe Burrow. We felt like we can win a Super Bowl. But we have to do it together. We want to do it together.”

They indeed are. The Bengals management must have discussed this thoroughly before signing the record-breaking deals.

Ja’Marr Chase – 4-year, $161 million, $112 million guaranteed

Tee Higgins – 4-year, $115 million, first 2-years guaranteed

They have essentially put an end to the offensive headaches for the next 2 years. So, the focus now needs to be on winning the Super Bowl. Both of them had 27 touchdowns between themselves in 2024. That’s more than 50% of Joe Burrow’s TDs (43)!

However, the responsibility is also huge. Extra burden to win! At least, the fans wouldn’t like them to get eliminated before the playoffs. They failed to qualify in 2024. In 2025, the repercussions could be huge! Brace yourselves for the coming season.
