Tee Higgins, Ja'Marr Chase and Joe Burrow have led the Bengals' revival, but will this be their last season together?
Chris Canty and Michelle Smallmon discuss if if the Cincinnati Bengals will be a Super Bowl contender with a healthy Joe Burrow this season. Ben Baby covers the Cincinnati Bengals for ESPN. He joined the company in July 2019. Prior to ESPN, he worked for various newspapers in Texas, most recently at The Dallas Morning News where he covered college sports. He provides daily coverage of the Bengals for ESPN.
"He's one of the top receivers in this league," coach Zac Taylor said at the NFL scouting combine earlier this year."We don't want that just walking out of the building. Higgins has been a massive part of Cincinnati's rebuild under Taylor. When the Bengals drafted Burrow with the first overall pick in 2020, they used their next pick to take Higgins at the top of the second round. One year later, Cincinnati added Chase, Burrow's former teammate at LSU.
However, maintaining that success comes at a steep cost. At $55 million annually, Burrow is the highest-paid player in NFL history. Chase is in line for a mammoth extension as well. Despite the lack of accolades, Higgins' production has also warranted a significant payday.
