In this story:

CINCINNATI — Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow discussed his health, Ja'Marr Chase's return to the team and much more after Tuesday's mandatory minicamp session.

Chase joined the team on Monday. He's eligible for a contract extension this offseason. Will Burrow share advice with his teammate and good friend since he went through this process last year?

"Nah," Burrow said. "I think the best way to handle that is to let him handle business the way that he sees fit."

Burrow did make it clear that he doesn't feel the need to talk to the front office about how valuable Chase is to the Bengals' offense.

"It doesn’t need to be stated. Everyone knows what we got in him," Burrow said bluntly.

Chase is under contract for the next two seasons. Justin Jefferson signed a four-year, $140 million extension with the Vikings this offseason. He signed that deal after his fourth NFL season. Will the Bengals and Chase follow a similar blueprint?
