The Cincinnati Bengals may be able to have their cake and eat it, too. Less than 24 hours after word came down the franchise  is inking historic extensions with receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins,

As it turns out, changing to the same representation as teammate Ja'Marr Chase was partially a huge leverage play. Now both Chase and Higgins have NFL-altering contract extensions. According to the 33rd Team's Ari Meirov, Higgins' agent told the Bengals something quite simple: No Higgins extension, no Chase deal.

Chase is now not only the highest-paid wide receiver in the game but he is the highest-paid non-quarterback in the NFL as well. Chase is signing a four-year $161 million deal with $112 million guaranteed, according to Jordan Schultz.
