Even amidst a disappointing season that has the Cincinnati Bengals on the outside looking in for a playoff spot in the AFC, Joe Burrow is enjoying one of the most productive seasons of his career. And Burrow, after leading the Bengals to a 27-20 victory over the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night, made it clear that he understands how paramount three-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase and fellow talented wideout Tee Higgins are to his success.
Speaking to reporters, Burrow said he hopes the team is able to bring back Chase, with whom the team unsuccessfully attempted to negotiate a long-term contract this past offseason. Of course, paying Chase top receiver money could make a long-term commitment to Higgins difficult. But Burrow said he's "confident" the Bengals will do what it takes, adding that he plans to be involved in the process when Higgins becomes a free agent at the conclusion of the league year in March.
