Ja’Marr Chase: Cincinnati Bengals make wideout highest paid non-quarterback in NFL, per reports

CNN

CNN — About a week after the Cleveland Browns made superstar defensive end Myles Garrett the highest paid non-quarterback in NFL history, a division rival and fellow Ohio-based team one-upped them. The Cincinnati Bengals have agreed to terms with superstar wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase on a four-year, $161 million contract extension, with $112 million guaranteed, according to multiple reports, including ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Chase, a former first round pick of Louisiana State University, has been basically unguardable in his first four seasons in the league, recording 395 catches for 5,425 yards and 46 touchdowns. Last month at the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis, Bengals general manager Duke Tobin expressed interest in signing both Chase and Higgins to long term deals, including making the former the highest paid non-quarterback in league history.
