Bengals Intensify Contract Talks with Ja'Marr Chase

Negotiations aim to secure star wide receiver with lucrative extension before season opener

Chase has been holding out of full practices, seeking a contract extension.
The Bengals are willing to offer over $30 million annually but are cautious about guarantees.
Chase's current contract runs through 2025, complicating negotiations.
Both sides are optimistic about reaching an agreement soon.
Chase's participation in Week 1 remains uncertain without a new deal.
