There was a ton of speculation and conjecture about the future of the Cincinnati Bengals. With record extensions piling up and the notorious aversion to paying up big money that the franchise had, many openly debated if the team would even bring back the dynamic duo of Tee Higgins and Ja’Marr Chase.
However, in one fell swoop, the team managed to retain both players at a ginormous hit to their cap. While the future remains uncertain in terms of how the team looks on the field, the two stars are clearly overjoyed. Recently, a video of the two enjoying their luxury went viral on social media.

In jaw-dropping news, both Chase and Higgins received massive extensions from the Bengals. While Higgins got a four-year, $115 million deal that put him near the bottom of the 10 highest-paid wide receivers in the league, Chase was a different story altogether.
Cincinnati owned up to its promise and gave him a four-year extension worth $161 million that made him the highest-paid, not just receiver but non-QB in NFL history. Celebrating their extensions, the two long-time teammates could be seen in Miami racing through in their brand-new Lamborghinis.
Higgins could be heard shouting, “I’m having the best time of my life,” as he ran through town in his lime green supercar.
Speaking on the subject, the reigning Triple Crown winner revealed how much he wanted the car. Calling it a dream for over a decade, Chase was honest about what it meant to finally have the car of his dreams.
Clearly excited about taking it out for a ride, the Bengals superstar was cussing his heart out, eager to take it out. “We finna of joyriding this b***h right fast, going to highways seeing what he’s talking about, make a couple spins, pick up some stuff, and show off a lil bit. Let’s do it.”

While it is party time for the Bengals superstar duo, the expectations are certainly mounting from the fanbase. Over the last two seasons, the team has failed to qualify for the playoffs both times, leading to intense scrutiny.
Now, with a bigger paycheck attached to their names, the microscope is going to be brighter on their play. Last season, an elite offense couldn’t sustain a playoff push as the Bengals had one of the worst defenses in the league, ranking among the bottom five in PFSN’s Defense+ metric.
As a result, most fans were hoping for either of the two receivers to get their deal and allocate the rest of their resources for some help on the defensive end. But with Joe Burrow publicly pushing for it, the team decided to pay both their wide receivers.
Now it’s up to this trio to bring the results they need.
