Bengals exercise 5th-year option on Ja’Marr Chase

Ja’Marr Chase is sticking around with the Bengals at least through 2025.

Recently, the Cincinnati Bengals assured that they would have [autotag]Ja’Marr Chase[/autotag] on their team through the 2025 season at least. Chase signed a four-year deal as a rookie for the Bengals in 2021. That deal is set to expire at the end of 2024. The deal has a team option for a fifth year of his contract and the Bengals picked that up.

Chase is set to make $21.82 million in 2025 due to him making the Pro Bowl in at least two seasons while under contract. Cincinnati will be working on a long-term deal soon because they want to keep their star wide receiver in town to help [autotag]Joe Burrow[/autotag] continue to succeed.

Last season, Chase had the most receptions of his NFL career as he hauled in 100 catches for 1,216 yards and seven touchdowns. Those numbers improved his 2022 numbers but fell short of his rookie numbers.

Hopefully, we will get to see Burrow and Chase show their star power for a long time in Cincinnati.
