Ja’Marr Chase signs 4-year $161M extension ; Tee Higgins signs 4-year, $115M extension

That is an insane amount of money to invest in two wide receivers.

Between Joey B, Chase and Higgins Cincinnati has around 40% of their cap tied up next year.
I think when Burrow's contract is up, the franchise tag will be the only thing that keeps him there. Maybe he'll find his way back to Louisiana in a few years.
