Week 1 is approaching fast as the Cincinnati Bengals look to hammer out a deal for wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase.
It’s no secret that deadlines spur deals, especially in the NFL, and the Bengals rarely negotiate major extensions once the regular season has begun. That’s why the September 8th opener vs. the New England Patriots is essentially a deadline for the Bengals and Chase to get a deal done, so the hope is that the approaching deadline will spur a deal to get done.
According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, the Bengals have intensified efforts to get a deal done with Chase.
