Bengals reach extensions with Chase, Higgins

The Cincinnati Bengals have secured two of their biggest stars, with wide receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins telling Fox Sports on Sunday that they have agreed to contract extensions.

Chase agreed to a four-year, $161 million deal that includes $112 million guaranteed, while Higgins agreed to a four-year, $115 million deal that is guaranteed for the first two years, they told Fox Sports.

Sources had told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Friday that the team's front office was actively working to get Chase, who was entering the final season of his rookie contract, and Higgins, who received the franchise tag for the second straight year, signed to contract extensions as quickly as possible.
