This news comes after Chase had sat out training camp and multiple practices last week in search of a contract extension similar to the ones received by Ceedee Lamb of the Dallas Cowboys, Justin Jefferson of the Minnesota Vikings, and Brandon Aiyuk of the San Francisco 49ers.

In three seasons with the Bengals, Chase was named Rookie of the Year in 2021 and was named to three Pro Bowls. He is an integral part of Cincinnati’s offense, so it’s more than likely a deal will get done.
