Bengals News: Pending contract extensions, bargain free agents, and more
In Bengals news, when will the Cincinnati Bengals pay their players who are due for extensions? Also, who are some bargain free agents still waiting to be signed to a new team?
Joe Burrow, Tee Higgins, and Logan Wilson are all eligible for extensions this year and Ja'Marr Chase is the big name eligible for one next offseason. Burrow is obviously going to get paid and while the Bengals would like to pay Higgins and Wilson as well, it's easier said than done, especially with Chase's pay day coming next year.
Perhaps the Bengals will turn to free agency and pick up a few cheaper options as they inch closer to the start of training camp.
