The Bengals are a notoriously budget-conscious organization, and with Chase putting together the best season of his career, some wonder if owner Mike Brown will end up trading his star wideout.<\/p>\n<p>Justin Jefferson (Minnesota Vikings) and\u00a0<a class=\"mai-link-injected\" href=\"https:\/\/www.totalprosports.com\/tag\/ceedee-lamb\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CeeDee Lamb<\/a>\u00a0(Dallas Cowboys) signed lucrative extensions in the offseason worth $140 million and $136 million, respectively. Both deals carry four-year terms.<\/p>\n<p>So it\u2019s safe to guess that Chase would want something in the $35-40 million range. And if the Bengals are unable to give Chase that, they\u2019d have no problem finding clubs willing to pay a king\u2019s ransom for him via trade.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Bovada sportsbook, the AFC North rival\u00a0<a class=\"mai-link-injected\" href=\"https:\/\/www.totalprosports.com\/nfl\/pittsburgh-steelers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bovada.lv\/sports\/football\/nfl-specials\/nfl-specials\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">are a co-betting favorite<\/a>\u00a0to acquire Ja\u2019Marr Chase via trade.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">\ud83d\udea8WILD: The Pittsburgh <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Steelers?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Steelers<\/a> are the co-FAVORITE to land superstar WR Ja\u2019Marr Chase if he leaves Cincy next year, per <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BovadaOfficial?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@BovadaOfficial<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Pittsburgh has actively targeted top wide receivers recently and is expected to continue this in the offseason.<\/p>\n<p>(\ud83d\udcf8<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Dav1dChabot?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Dav1dChabot<\/a>) <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/FOpnBKSMHo\">pic.twitter.com\/FOpnBKSMHo<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 MLFootball (@_MLFootball) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/_MLFootball\/status\/1867304277514780929?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 12, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The Steelers have an established No. 1 wide receiver in George Pickens, but adding a player like Chase would take their offense to another level. Pittsburgh continues to look for another play-making wideout to help Pickens, having traded WR2 Diontae Johnson to the Carolina Panthers in the offseason.<\/p>\n<p>Over his first 13 games of 2024, the 25-year-old Ja\u2019Marr Chase has 93 receptions for 1,319 yards and 15 touchdowns. He has eclipsed the 80-catch and 1,000-yard marks in each of his first four seasons.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-bengals-probably-wouldn-t-trade-ja-marr-chase-to-a-division-rival\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bengals Probably Wouldn\u2019t Trade Ja\u2019Marr Chase To A Division Rival<\/h2>\n<p>Even if the Bengals make the bold and risky decision to shop Chase, it\u2019s hard to envision them trading the superstar wideout to a division rival.

Finding another player who can take over games like him is easier said than done.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; A new betting favorite has emerged to land\u00a0Cincinnati Bengals\u00a0star wide receiver Ja\u2019Marr Chase if he gets traded in the offseason.
