The Bengals kept the receipts. (For tax return purposes).

The Cincinnati Bengals took to Twitter tonight to post a montage of tweets and sports pundits talking about how cheap they are and would never be able to afford their wide receivers.

The team finally inked deals with both Tee Higgins and Ja’Marr Chase to keep them together with Joe Burrow for at least the next four years (five in Chase’s case).

They did so by making Chase the highest-paid non-quarterback and Higgins $28.75 AAV over four years, with the first two guaranteed. Two things are things they’ve never really done....

The sack king wants paid. Is a holdout coming?

The Cincinnati Bengals were able to retain Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins for the next four years, but one star player’s situation is still in limbo.

Defensive end Trey Hendrickson is looking for a new contract after a 17.5-sack season in 2024. This coming season is the last year on Hendrickson’s deal, and he has mentioned wanting more long-term security.

The Cincinnati Bengals made headlines Sunday by reaching an agreement on long-term contract extensions with wide receivers Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, bringing to an end a years-long saga surrounding whether or not the Bengals would bungle their relationships with the two stars.

As has widely been reported, both players set records with their contracts, with Chase now the highest-paid non-quarterback in league history and Higgins the highest-paid WR2 in the league. What has also been widely reported is how...

Season 2 of Quarterback will be a fun one!

Joe Burrow is one of those players you can’t help but root for. He started out as an underdog story from a small school in Ohio and then was dismissed at Ohio State before turning into one of the best collegiate quarterbacks in modern-day history.

He transitioned that success to the NFL and led the Cincinnati Bengals, a team that hadn’t been to the Super Bowls since the 1980s, to the biggest landscape in sports. Having been the highest-paid player for a time as well, Burrow has made quite the splash...

The Bengals quarterback has to be one of the happiest quarterbacks in the league.

Ahead of the NFL Draft, we will start to see reports of the players the Cincinnati Bengals will meet with ahead of their 17th overall selection in April. With heavy investments on the offensive side of the ball, look for them to take a look at a lot of defensive players.

One defensive back they will reportedly meet with is University of South Carolina safety Nick Emmanwori.

Adding a player who draws comparisons to Derwin James to the Bengals defense is certainly an exciting thought. Since the departure of Jessie Bates III after the 2022...
