CINCINNATI — Duke Tobin doesn't sound very optimistic about Cincinnati's chances of keeping Tee Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase under contract for years to come. He discussed the "hard" task of pulling that off with The Enquirer's Kelsey Conway.

Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase and Trey Hendrickson are scheduled to compete in three of the five events in Thursday's Pro Bowl Skills Show.

Chase has one year remaining on his rookie deal in which he is set to earn $21.5 million. He's however targeting the title of the NFL 's highest-paid wide receiver, which would surpass his former LSU teammate, Justin Jefferson, who currently earns $35 million annually with the Minnesota Vikings.

Near the end of the season, serious momentum seemed to suggest the Cincinnati Bengals would be able to keep Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins on long-term contracts. Now, a little pushback to the idea has arrived, courtesy of anonymous NFL executives.

Which brings us to today's quiz. Chase's fourth 1,000-yard season in four tries brought him to his fourth career Pro Bowl. With that being said, how many of the 20 players to catch eight or more touchdown passes in the 2024-25 NFL season can you name in five minutes? Good luck!

The 6-foot, 201-pound receiver is set to earn $21.8 million next season. However, he’s aiming to become the NFL’s highest-paid wide receiver, surpassing his former LSU teammate, Justin Jefferson, who currently makes $35 million per year with the Minnesota Vikings.

Cincinnati's director of player personnel noted he's expecting the two sides can come together to reach a deal.
