Breer revealed the full details (h/t SI's Andy Nesbitt), some of which can be found below.

Chase got a deal that is "$73.9 million fully guaranteed at signing—$41.17 million in base salary, a roster bonus, and per-game roster bonuses for 2025; and $32.73 million in base salary and a roster bonus for 2026. His two-year total is $75 million, with another $1.1 million in per-game roster bonuses for 2026 not fully guaranteed until next March."

As for Higgins, he got $30 million fully guaranteed at signing in the form of a $20 million roster bonus (March 2025) plus a $10 million roster bonus (March 2026).

Higgins' $13.8 million base salary for 2025 is "not yet guaranteed," per SI, but he'll have more money on the way via other means.

"The practical guarantee here is the $45.9 million (if he plays in all 17 games this year), with $35.9 million due in 2025, and the $10 million roster bonus for next year subject to offsets (which means the Bengals could get out of the deal after a year with just what they paid in 2025, if someone paid him more than $10 million next)," per SI. "That said, the Bengals don’t have history of cutting guys after a year."

Landing both long-term is a big win for the Bengals.

Chase earned the NFL's wide receiver triple crown last year, leading the NFL with 127 catches for 1,708 yards and 17 touchdowns. Higgins had 73 catches for 911 yards and 10 touchdowns even though he was sidelined for five games (two with a hamstring injury; three with a quad ailment).

They've formed an incredible and lethal trio with quarterback Joe Burrow that should keep the Bengals competitive through the decade.

Cincinnati still needs to shore up a defense and special teams that struggled last year and ultimately led to a 9-8 record that put the Bengals one game outside of the playoffs.

However, retaining this superstar trio is a key victory for the Bengals as they look to win the franchise's first-ever Super Bowl.
