The Bengals have inked Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins to new deals, with details for Chase's deal surfacing this week.

Check out the full four-year, $161 million deal breakdown below via details from Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated:

$73.9 million was fully guaranteed at signing—$41.17 million in base salary, a roster bonus, and per-game roster bonuses for 2025; and $32.73 million in base salary and a roster bonus for 2026. That makes Chase's two-year fully guaranteed money total $75 million, with another $1.1 million in per-game roster bonuses for 2026 not fully guaranteed until next March.

In March 2026, those roster bonuses, plus $28.9 million of his money for 2027, become fully guaranteed. His three-year total is $105 million, with $1.1 million of his $30 million for 2027 not getting fully guaranteed until March 2027.

In March 2027, those roster bonuses, plus $7 million for 2028 become fully guaranteed, bringing the guarantee total, at that point, to $112 million.

Breer noted that the deal ties the Bengals to Chase for the next three years, with the $7 million in 2028 subject to offsets. He is due a non-guaranteed $44.816 million in 2029, the final year of the deal.
