What a story.
Shortly after Fox NFL Insider Jordan Schultz reported the news about the Cincinnati Bengals signing star wide receivers Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins to massive contract extensions, we learned that Schultz was actually out to dinner with the duo when he reported the news.
Higgins tweeted out a handshak emoji just before Schultz reported the deals and terms. Chase followed up by quoting Schultz’ post with a handshake emoji of his own and it turns out they were all three in the same room together.
Schultz recently released a video on Twitter explaining how the night went, and it is a great story.
Here’s the full story of the night Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins agreed to their extensions — and what went down over dinner at “Prime 112” in Miami before we dropped the bombshell news to the world.

One of the most intriguing parts of the story is Schultz highlighting just how close Chase and Higgins are. It is clear that throughout the whole process, the two staying together and playing with Joe Burrow was the top priority.
Schultz even shares how he asked for both players’ input on the wording of his tweet when he announced the extensions, adding that Chase wanted Higgins to sign off on the post before it went out.
A great story about two friends who not only got life-changing money, but got to announce their contracts to the world together.
