Tee Higgins can’t be happy with Bengals after hearing Ja’Marr Chase contract update
Hopefully, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins didn't watch team owner Mike Brown speak at the 2024 media luncheon. On Monday, Brown addressed reporters, answering various queries concerning the state of the franchise. One question kindled a response that Higgins can't be thrilled with, reminding him of his failed contract negotiations with the Bengals this offseason.

Mike Brown: We’ll bend over backwards to sign Ja’Marr Chase
The Bengals went into the 2024 offseason with two wide receivers looking for new contracts and they ended it the same way. Neither Ja’Marr Chase nor Tee Higgins have signed extensions with the team as training camp gets underway and Higgins won’t be able to talk to the team about a long-term deal until after the season because he’s playing on a franchise tag. Ja’Marr Chase can sign a new pact with the team at any time, however, and owner Mike Brown said on Monday that the team will work hard to make sure he remains in Cincinnati.

Matt’s Take – Reds fall short yet again; Bengals preview
The Cincinnati Reds have unfortunately fallen back far enough to become sellers at the deadline. Their lackluster performance in Washington has officially become what I believe to be the nail in the coffin for this Reds season. I guess Joe Biden wasn’t the only person to drop out of the race in Washington this weekend. Of course, I hope I am wrong, but barring another 10-game win streak, I just don’t see Cincinnati making a run at the playoffs this year. Inconsistencies, injuries, and just poor performances have put this team 6 games below .500, dead last in the National League Central, 10.5 games behind Milwaukee, and 4 games back from a Wild Card spot. There are only two teams with worse records than the Cincinnati Reds in the National League, after a winning season from Cincinnati just a year ago.
