NFL free agency is in full swing, and several teams have already made marquee moves, potentially to take the next step towards hoisting the Lombardi Trophy.

The Cincinnati Bengals wound up being one of the biggest spenders of the offseason, ending a two-season long soap opera involving elite wide receivers Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, agreeing to terms with both of their top playmakers.

Chase becomes the highest-paid wide receiver in NFL history, agreeing to terms on a $160 million extension, while Higgins becomes the top-paid No. 2 wide receiver ever, on a four-year deal worth $115 million.

NFL reporters Matt Lombardo and Mike Tanier of Mike Tanier's Too Deep Zone share their thoughts on the biggest winners across the league, so far in free agency, and former Bengals wide receiver Carl Pickens joins to break down Cincinnati’s offensive outlook and how he expects Chase and Higgins’ deals to work out for the Bengals on this week’s Between The Hashmarks Podcast.
