Ja'Marr Chase becomes NFL's highest-paid non-quarterback
Ja'Marr Chase has signed a four-year, $161 million extension with the Cincinnati Bengals, making him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history with an average salary of $40.25 million. This deal surpasses the previous record set by Myles Garrett. Chase's contract includes $112 million in guaranteed money, breaking the record for wide receivers. He now ranks third among non-quarterbacks in guaranteed salary, behind Garrett and Nick Bosa. The new contracts for Chase and Garrett are expected to influence negotiations for other players, including Micah Parsons and Aidan Hutchinson, as the market for non-quarterbacks continues to rise.
