Cincinnati Bengals WR Ja’Marr Chase shows off custom diamond dice

Chase, set to make $40.25 million annually under his new contract, is clearly wasting no time in putting it to good use. Beyond the jewelry and dice, Chase is one of the best players in the NFL — regardless of position.

The 25-year-old has surpassed 1,000 receiving yards in each of his first four seasons in the league. This past season, his game reached another level. He played in all 17 games, completing the Triple Crown by leading the NFL with 127 receptions for 1,708 yards and 17 touchdowns. Chase earned First-Team All-Pro honors and finished eighth in MVP voting. In total, Chase has 395 catches for 5,425 yards and 46 touchdowns in his career.

Ja’Marr Chase wants to lead Bengals back to postseason

The personal accolades are nice. But the Bengals, as a team, have struggled over the last two seasons. Cincinnati has gone back-to-back years with no postseason after making the Super Bowl in 2021 and the AFC Championship Game in 2022. Slow starts have been an issue, as the Bengals got off to an 0-3 start to the 2024 season.

But after extending Chase and fellow star wideout Tee Higgins, the Bengals return one of the league’s best offenses captained by quarterback Joe Burrow. Cincinnati remains in its Super Bowl window. For now, Chase wants to see them return atop the AFC North.

“My biggest thing this year, going forward, is making the playoffs, man,” Chase said earlier this offseason. “We got to get to the playoffs. That’s my first step, but [the] team goal is to win the division.”
