Bengals director of player personnel Duke Tobin said this week that signing wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase to a contract extension is a priority for the team and Chase has made it a priority as well. Chase didn't practice much during training camp last summer and his status for the season opener was up in the air as the two sides tried to reach an agreement.

A big offseason storyline for the Cincinnati Bengals is how they will handle Ja’Marr Chase’s upcoming second contract. As a first-round pick, he’s already had his fifth-year option picked up, which will pay him $21.
