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.

The Cincinnati Bengals and All-Pro wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase enter another offseason of intense contract negotiations. After not being able to agree on a new deal ahead of last season, the Bengals and Chase will now resume negotiations. Chase is entering the final year of his rookie deal with the Bengals.

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