The Bengals putting this out tonight.
A hug with the quarterback to seal the deal.
Joe Burrow congratulating his star receivers on their new contracts
just moments after the ink dried.
And he was a part of that.
Of course, for Jamar Chase and T Higgins, it was
worth the wait.
I like Jamar was just going to kind of tap
him up and Joe's like, no, bring it in.
So the trio excited to stay in Cincinnati together at
least for a couple more years.
Sports anchor Charlie Clifford joining us here with what they
have I had to say today.
Hi there, Charlie.
Well, Jamar Chase admitted until three weeks ago, he didn't
think this was really a realistic deal.
And here you are right after the contracts were signed.
As Mike mentioned, surprise in the locker room.
First, though, all that work going back to pee wee
football and now your financial future is rather favorable.
How is T Higgins celebrating?
I don't know.
A glass of champagne, cigar, kick up, kick my feet
up.
You know, the classy way.
That's right.
It was obvious today.
Here are two star players.
They play the same position, completely comfortable, sharing the spotlight.
Joe Burrow's push to keep this trio together documented in
the surprise in the locker room today.
Strategic package deal and the move to use the same
negotiator paid off.
I want to thank you know our Asian Rocky you
know what getting this deal done and and you know
changing my life forever.
I'm not a greedy person and I'm not selfish.
I'm not going to overdo nothing.
You know, and you know this whole situation I'm throughout
my whole process.
I was talking to Rocky accident.
Make sure like we get some more teas done.
Like are we close to teas before mine?
Like, you know, I'm trying to make sure me and
T still around the same before we go, you know,
before I can sign first.
It's a 2 phone situation, wasn't it still ahead why
Cincy is home money and winning aside, the emotion needs
to feel when it comes to this place.
That story in a couple minutes.
