Joe Burrow Gets Huge Super Bowl Boost as Bengals Complete Tee Higgins and Ja’Marr Chase Extensions appeared first on EssentiallySports.

You can’t underestimate the influence of Joe Burrow on the Cincinnati Bengals organization. He might be the only person that has enough authority to convince the team's notoriously skinflint ownership to sway from their typical traditions.

Chase was always going to go up over $40 million per year after the team missed a chance to get him around the $35 million per-year mark last summer. Higgins could've generated around $30 million in free agency, while the tag gave him a lump sum of $26 million, so around $28 million would be an interesting compromise.
