Ja'Marr Chase Signs $161 Million Bengals Extension, Critiques Cincinnati Food

Ja'Marr Chase has signed a historic four-year contract extension with the Cincinnati Bengals worth $161 million, making him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history. During a press conference, Chase expressed his appreciation for Cincinnati, citing its lack of distractions as beneficial for his focus on football, although he humorously criticized the city's food, saying, "the food's not the best" and he's still adjusting after moving from New Orleans. Chase's teammate Tee Higgins also secured a lucrative extension worth $115 million, solidifying the Bengals' offensive strength. Both players emphasized their motivation to achieve a Super Bowl victory with the Bengals. The contracts reflect the team's commitment to maintaining their elite receiving corps, even as they face significant salary cap implications in the coming years. Chase is optimistic about his future in Cincinnati, focusing on winning championships rather than the city's culinary offerings.
