Joe Burrow was a loud voice calling for the Cincinnati Bengals to extend wide receivers Tee Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase since the end of the 2024 season. Burrow put public pressure on the Bengals, a franchise notorious for not always paying their stars, to get deals done with Higgins and Chase. On multiple occasions, Burrow was firm on the importance of bringing both receivers back.
Now that the Bengals have done just that—officially re-signing Chase and Higgins to four-year contract extensions on Tuesday—Burrow has rightfully responded with praise for the organization.
