With the 2024 season just a few weeks away, it does seem that the Cincinnati Bengals can breathe easy with Ja’Marr chase now back on the lineup. The wideout receiver did not participate in multiple practice sessions as he was in a contract dispute with the team as of late, and it does seem that there is a promising note in the team’s hopes moving forward.

Chase actively seeks a new contract with the team, and he is already in the fourth year of his rookie deal with the Bengals. The team isn’t exactly cooperating in his best interests, and they didn’t even announce Chase’s return to the practice sessions of the team, including its preseason games.

While Chase has been present for most of the training camp and the team’s offseason program, it seems that missing out on the individual drills and even whole-team practices has been a strong message for the team to actually consider his proposal of a new contract moving forward.

A Future with the Bengals

While there isn’t a new contract that is yet to materialize for Chase and the Bengals, it does seem that the wide receiver is keen to see more of his runs in the coming years with the squad. Fans have seen Chase thrive on the big stage for Cincinnati, and it is a no-brainer that signing the wide receiver to a much bigger deal will yield him a promising chance to showcase the best of his career.

As one of the most dynamic wide receivers in the game, Chase indeed has a promising future with the Bengals, and no one can deny the fact that he is expected to play a huge role alongside Joe Burrow as the QB makes his return to the big stage in the season. So far, Chase earning an extension with the Bengals seems to be quite a good look considering how great and elite of a performer he has been over the years.

At the end of his rookie contract, there is so much more to expect from Chase as he seeks to remain with the team that has kept him for four years with a massive role right from the start. It does seem that the Bengals can expect more from him as he tries to negotiate for a new contract moving forward.

Chase’s Brilliance in Cincinnati

At the age of 24, all that Chase wants is to get fairly and generously compensated like many other wide receivers in the game. There are a lot of WR players in the game who have been offered lucrative deals, and that is definitely what Chase wants for himself at this point. Considering the fact that Chase isn’t eyeing to move to another team, the Bengals should actually consider working out a new deal with him.

Since 2021, Chase has played a massive role in the team’s turnaround from being a lowly team to being a contender squad. He started with a rookie season that saw him come up with 81 receptions for 1,455 yards and 13 touchdowns as the Bengals reached Super Bowl LVI.

Both sides have expressed eagerness to stay in Cincinnati, and it does seem that there is a plan in the works to bring in Chase for more years to come with the Bengals as one of the team’s centerpieces in the game.
