Bengals face offseason dilemma with wide receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins amid contract concerns

The Cincinnati Bengals are facing significant offseason decisions regarding their wide receiver corps, particularly with stars Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. Chase is anticipated to become the highest-paid wide receiver, potentially surpassing Justin Jefferson's $35 million annual salary, while Higgins, who is in the final year of his contract, might seek a lucrative deal elsewhere as it is unlikely the Bengals can afford to pay both. Despite Cincinnati's projected $66.38 million cap space in 2025, retaining both receivers poses a considerable challenge.
