Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase got some rare, unintended help from a division rival with his record-setting contract extension.

Just a week before Chase and the Bengals agreed to the extension that is set to pay Chase $40.25 million per year, Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett agreed to his own record extension with the Browns that will pay him $40 million per year.
