Joe Burrow Urges Bengals to Secure Long-Term Deals for Tee Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase

The quarterback highlights the importance of retaining key teammates as Cincinnati faces a pivotal offseason and a narrow playoff path.

Joe Burrow expressed frustration with the Bengals' history of losing key players and emphasized the need to secure long-term deals for Tee Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase.
Burrow's comments come as the Bengals prepare for a must-win Week 18 matchup against the Steelers to keep their slim playoff hopes alive.
Tee Higgins, playing under a franchise tag, has shown willingness to prioritize team success over maximizing his own salary, citing the unique opportunities in Cincinnati's offense.
Ja'Marr Chase is expected to become the NFL's highest-paid non-quarterback after the season, with his record-setting performance driving up his contract value.
The Bengals face mounting pressure to balance financial constraints while retaining their star trio of Burrow, Higgins, and Chase to sustain their competitiveness.
