And this is why Cincinnati is where they are right now. Players show their worth and can't get paid accordingly. Why play your full potential and get paid less than others in your same position.
Ja'Marr Chase has no plans to negotiate a long-term deal this season with the Cincinnati Bengals, per sources. Talks between Chase and the Bengals are off for now, and likely for the rest of the season unless the team does something to change the current situation. The Bengals always could try to jumpstart negotiations with Chase. But Cincinnati has a long history of not negotiating deals during the season, and it is considered unlikely that will change, especially considering that Chase is said to have no intention of continuing contract talks and with the team focused on Sunday's game against the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs. The last time the Bengals extended one of their core players during the regular season was in 2015, when offensive tackle Andrew Whitworth signed a one-year extension. It was the only in-season contract extension the Bengals have done in the past 20 years, according to ESPN Research.
