As Week 1 rapidly approaches, the Cincinnati Bengals are working hard to finalize a contract with wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase.
It’s well-known that deadlines often accelerate negotiations in the NFL, and the Bengals typically avoid major contract talks once the regular season starts. With the season opener against the New England Patriots on September 8th serving as a crucial deadline, there’s a hope that this pressure will lead to a deal being reached.
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports that the Bengals have stepped up their efforts to secure a deal with Chase. He also mentioned that there is some cautious optimism within the Bengals organization about reaching an agreement.
This is a more encouraging update on Chase’s contract negotiations, especially since he missed the last two practices of the week and has been holding out during training camp. Both sides now need to work to finalize the contract.
