CINCINNATI -- For the past two years, the Cincinnati Bengals have enjoyed the luxury of having two of the NFL’s top young wide receivers.
Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins have produced big plays when Cincinnati needed them. In seven playoff games over the last two seasons, the duo has combined for 1,045 receiving yards and six touchdowns.
The NFL’s economic structure is built to stop teams from amassing several top players. Fitting new contracts for Chase, Higgins and Joe Burrow all beneath the salary cap is the primary challenge.
