The Cincinnati Bengals have made historic deals with star wide receivers Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, giving both players multi-year guarantees in a rare move for the organization. Agent Rocky Arceneaux’s negotiating tactics played a crucial role in securing these unprecedented deals.
According to sources, Chase’s contract features guarantees into his fourth year, making him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history. Higgins’ deal is the highest-paid No. 2 receiver ever, with both players eager to bring a Super Bowl to Cincinnati alongside quarterback Joe Burrow.
The Bengals’ willingness to invest in their star players has sent shockwaves through the league and highlights the team’s commitment to winning. However, the situation doesn’t end there, as the team still hopes to work out a deal with defensive lineman Trey Hendrickson despite granting him permission to seek a trade.
As the NFL continues to navigate player contract negotiations, one thing is clear: these historic deals have set a new standard for the Bengals and will have a lasting impact on the team’s future.
