The Cincinnati Bengals have picked up the fifth-year option for wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase, keeping him with the franchise through the 2025 NFL season.
A three-time Pro Bowler, the 21-year-old Chase will see his salary jump in 2025 from $1.1 million this coming season to a fully-guaranteed $21.8 million barring an extension being worked out.
The Bengals had until May 2 to use the fifth-year option.
