Ja'Marr Chase Extends Well Wishes to Justin Jefferson on Contract

Former LSU Teammates Reunite

Burrow and Chase Could Be Next

With standout wide receiver Justin Jefferson signing a lucrative contract extension with the Minnesota Vikings, his former LSU teammate Ja'Marr Chase of the Cincinnati Bengals has expressed his support and admiration.

Chase, a key part of the Bengals' offense alongside quarterback Joe Burrow, took to social media to congratulate Jefferson on his deal, which is reportedly worth $140 million over four years. "Congrats to my bro @JJets for the 💰! Well deserved," Chase tweeted.

The bond between Chase and Jefferson extends beyond their shared collegiate experience. They are both highly skilled receivers who have emerged as stars in the NFL. After winning the Offensive Rookie of the Year award in 2021, Chase has continued to impress in Cincinnati, helping the Bengals reach the Super Bowl last season.

Jefferson's contract extension could have implications for Chase's own contract negotiations with the Bengals. The wide receiver is entering the final year of his rookie contract, and his agent may seek a similar deal to what Jefferson received. If Chase can continue to perform at a high level, he could command a significant payday from the Bengals.

The Bengals and Chase are expected to begin contract negotiations in the near future. With both sides reportedly interested in a long-term deal, it is possible that an agreement could be reached before the start of the 2023 season.
