Chase has one year remaining on his rookie deal in which he is set to earn $21.5 million. He's however targeting the title of the NFL 's highest-paid wide receiver, which would surpass his former LSU teammate, Justin Jefferson, who currently earns $35 million annually with the Minnesota Vikings.

So it's a "priority" for the Bengals to sign receiver Ja'Marr Chase to a new deal? Yeah, welcome to 2024. Then again, the Bengals always seem to be behind the times, when it comes to taking a crowbar to Mike Brown's piggy bank.
