Bengals exercise 5th-year option on WR Ja’Marr Chase

The Cincinnati Bengals picked up the fifth-year option on Pro Bowl wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase on Wednesday, keeping him under contract through the 2025 season.

Chase is entering his fourth season and will make a base salary of $1.1 million. His base will balloon to at least $21.8 million in 2025 if a long-term extension hasn’t been reached by then.

Chase, 24, has earned Pro Bowl honors in each of his first three seasons. He was the Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2021.

Selected No. 5 overall in the 2021 draft, Chase has 268 catches for 3,717 yards and 29 touchdowns in 45 games, all starts. He hauled in a career-high 100 receptions in 2023, tied for the second most in a season in team history.
