On March 18, superstar wide receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins signed contract extensions with the Cincinnati Bengals after arriving at Paycor Stadium together. Star quarterback Joe Burrow made comments saying that the Bengals needed to hold on to their weapons, and Chase said that those comments were "a big help" in him eventually re-signing.

Having previously vouched for Tee Higgins to get paid by the Cincinnati Bengals, Joe Burrow is now stepping up for Trey Hendrickson amid his contract standoff with the organization.

Once again, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is using the bully pulpit to convince the team to sign his teammates.
