The Bengals star could sign an extension this offseason.

CINCINNATI — Ja’Marr Chase is eligible for a contract extension this offseason. What is the Bengals’ star prioritizing in a new deal?

“Really probably just upfront (money),” Chase said.

Does he need guaranteed money in year two of the deal? Similar to what Joe Burrow got from the Bengals when he signed his extension last September?

“I don’t know, you’re going a little too far now, buddy,” Chase said with a smirk. “Gave you a little spice. Don’t take all of it.”

Would he take less if it helped the Bengals re-sign Tee Higgins?

“That’s a good question. Who knows? It depends how much I’m taking,” Chase said. “It depends at the end of the day. Because I might not really be taking a cut. it might come from somewhere else.”

Higgins is in the final year of his rookie contract. He’s scheduled to become a free agent in March.

Chase made his third-straight Pro Bowl. He has 96 catches for 1,197 yards and seven touchdowns this season. He’s under contract for 2024, but the Bengals will exercise his fifth-year option ahead of the May deadline. He’s eligible for an extension this offseason.
