The Cincinnati Bengals have officially secured their offensive firepower for the future, committing massive resources to their star wide receiver duo, Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. Late Sunday night, news broke that the Bengals had reached lucrative long-term deals with both receivers, ensuring that Joe Burrow will continue throwing to two of the best targets in the league for years to come.
While some football fans may have missed the announcement as they turned in early for the workweek, Bengals fans woke up to a dream scenario—and the team’s social media team wasted no time in celebrating.
Bengals’ Social Media Response: GIFs, Swagger, and a Clear Message
The Bengals went all-in on the excitement, rolling out a series of perfectly curated GIFs featuring Chase, Higgins, and Burrow, as if to say: “The gang is staying together.”
Perhaps the best piece of social media content, though, was a clip of Bengals GM Duke Tobin, sending a strong and defiant message to the rest of the league:
“Go find your own receivers.”
That clip, which quickly went viral, sent Bengals fans into a frenzy, as it solidified the team’s commitment to building around their elite passing attack.

A Supercharged Offense, but Future Challenges Loom
There’s no question that securing Chase and Higgins is a massive win for Cincinnati. Chase has established himself as one of the most dominant receivers in the NFL, and Higgins, when healthy, is a legitimate No. 1-caliber weapon in his own right.
But as the excitement settles, there will be a reality check—the Bengals missed the playoffs last season, despite boasting this offensive talent. With Burrow already locked into a record-setting deal, tying up even more money in the receiving corps means Cincinnati will have tough financial decisions ahead, especially when it comes to strengthening their defense.
However, for now, that’s a problem for another day.
Today, Bengals fans can bask in the joy of knowing that Burrow, Chase, and Higgins will be lighting up defenses together for years to come—and their front office is making sure everyone knows it.
