Joe Burrow's public attempts to encourage the Cincinnati Bengals to keep both of their star wide receivers don't seem likely to pay off. Per ESPN's
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.
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow has effectively admitted he likely won’t win MVP this year despite his spectacular season. Fans can be able to forgive Ja’Marr Chase, then, for wondering aloud if somebody else might win the award this year.
Cincinnati's director of player personnel noted he's expecting the two sides can come together to reach a deal.
The Cincinnati Bengals had a tumultuous 2024 season, finishing with a 9-8 record and missing the playoffs.
This season, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase became the youngest Triple Crown winner in NFL history since Don Hutson. Hutson, now an NFL Hall of Famer, accomplished that feat in 1936. Given the rarity of Chase’s achievement this season, his jersey, gloves and cleats are now on display at the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

The latest update on where the Bengals stand on the idea of keeping Tee Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase together in Cincinnati.
The Cincinnati Bengals are ready to open contract negotiations again with wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase, who likely is seeking to become the highest-paid non-quarterback in the NFL.
Ja'Marr Chase is a finalist for Offensive Player of the Year. Chase became the fifth player since 1970 to win the Triple Crown—lead the NFL in receiving yards (1,708), catches (127) and touchdowns (17). Burrow is also a finalist for Offensive Player of the Year.
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.
