Overview

• Mike Brown states the Bengals will 'bend over backwards' to extend Ja'Marr Chase's contract.
• Chase's extension is complicated by the recent high-value contract of teammate Joe Burrow.
• The Bengals have some financial flexibility due to Chase's rookie deal, which includes a fifth-year option.
• Chase did not participate in voluntary workouts but attended mandatory minicamp.
• Chase is expected to use Justin Jefferson's record-breaking deal as a benchmark for his contract.
