The Bengals have decided that this year is their time. They want Joe Burrow to have all of his key weapons. So, they don’t want any complacency to creep in. They had two main challenges, Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. Rumor mills churned away piece after piece that Higgins will be franchise-tagged again while Chase was set to become one of the highest paid. Now, the rumors are turning into concrete. Concrete that Cincinnati could use to build a stairway to heaven (aka the Super Bowl). Burrow’s wish to keep both his weapons has been granted, in a big way.
According to reporter Jordan Schultz, Chase is set to become the highest-paid non-QB player in league history. He could soon sign a 4-year $161 million deal with $112 million guaranteed. Records have shattered for the WR2 as well. The Bengals gave Higgins a 4-year $115 million deal with the first 2 years guaranteed. While this is a major boost to the O-line, it meant sacrifices elsewhere.

That blow came to the Bengals’ defense. Titans are set to sign their veteran ex-CB, Mike Hilton. That would be one of the most notable free agent signings for the Titans.
