Ja’Marr Chase could be made highest-paid non-QB in NFL
Bengals director of player personnel Duke Tobin said Cincinnati is preparing to make WR Ja’Marr Chase the highest-paid non-QB in the NFL.
Fantasy Impact
“We’re going to reward Ja’Marr,” Tobin said Tuesday at the NFL Combine. Chase and the Bengals had contract discussions last offseason, but they did not end up going anywhere. Justin Jefferson is currently the highest-paid non-QB in the NFL with a $35 million average salary per season.

Chase Brown: Bengals GM says RB ‘made us right’
Bengals director of player personnel Duke Tobin says the team had hope for Chase Brown and he “made us right” last season.
Fantasy Impact
“We had a lot of hope for Chase and he kind of made us right,” Tobin said. The Bengals backfield opened with a committee last season between Brown and Zack Moss. Brown eventually took over after Moss had his season end early. Brown figures to head into 2025 as the lead back in the Bengals backfield.
