The wide receiver room for the Cincinnati Bengals is one of the most fascinating position groups to follow this offseason. Already, it's making noise, with the team electing to hit Tee Higgins with the franchise tag for the second consecutive season.

Of course, Chase is widely considered one of the best wide receivers in the NFL and, since joining the league in 2021, has accumulated 395 receptions, 5,425 yards, and 46 touchdowns. He's also been named to four Pro Bowls and one First-Team All-Pro.

Cincinnati Bengals star wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase and the franchise remain "far apart" in contract extension talks, according to a report from Diana Russini of The Athletic. According to Russini, the Bengals are prioritizing an extension with Chase over teammate Tee Higgins.
