Sources: The #Bengals will host the #Ravens on Thursday Night Football in Week 17 on New Year’s Eve.
For four straight years, the Bengals have played the Ravens in Baltimore in primetime. This year, the flip is happening. 🐅😈
And just like that, the Bengals are STUNNED by the Jets.
The game is over.
And the season is basically over. They couldn't afford to lose to the 0-7 Jets.
38 points isn't enough on offense.
Sources: The #Bengals are signing former #Vikings G Dalton Risner.
Risner has allowed zero sacks over the last two regular seasons, per PFF. A proven and respected veteran lands in Cincinnati to help protect Joe Burrow.
BREAKING: #Bengals WRs Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins exclusively tell me they’ve agreed to contract extensions with the team.
Ja'Marr gets: 4-years, $161M with $112M guaranteed — making him the highest-paid non-QB in NFL history.
Tee gets: 4-years, $115M with the first two years guaranteed — making him the highest paid WR2 in NFL history.
By extending Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, the #Bengals will actually lower both players’ cap hits for this season. Higgins’ cap number was over $26M, and Chase’s was over $21M - both will now decrease, giving Cincinnati more flexibility to continue building their roster.
NFL history: The Bengals have agreed to record deals making Ja’Marr Chase the highest-paid non-QB and Tee Higgins the highest-paid WR2 in the league, per sources. The deals were in place all weekend and Higgins announced the agreement.
🏈Ja’Marr Chase agreed to a 4-year, $161 million extension.
🏈Tee Higgins agreed to a 4-year deal worth about $115 million deal.
Their new contracts will make them the NFL’s highest-paid WR duo.
I can’t get 30 seconds into this video without tears in my eyes..
This city, fan base and team deserved this moment. Let’s do it again soon!
CINCINNATI ❤️
