The Cincinnati Bengals fielded some of the best players of the NFL season, including quarterback Joe Burrow and wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase, but they still missed the postseason. Cincinnati missed the playoff mark with a 9-8 record.

Ja'Marr Chase is fresh off chasing a historic Triple Crown season (127 receptions, 1,708 yards, 17 touchdowns)! The post Bengals Face $40M Hurdle in Ja’Marr Chase Contract as Joe Burrow Sends Clear Message to Front Office appeared first on EssentiallySports.
