The Bengals are hoping to sign Joe Burrow and Tee Higgins to contract extensions this offseason. The same goes for Ja'Marr Chase, who won't be eligible for an extension until next offseason. 

Former Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis doesn't have any doubt that the franchise will find a way to keep their young stars. He praised owner Mike Brown in a video for The33rdTeam.com.

"We know how Mr. Brown is on that, now. He's gonna make them all fit into that puzzle," Lewis said. "He wants them all to fit so you don't have to make decisions on guys based on what they make." 

Lewis also acknowledged that the Bengals have some things to tweak, but they're in a great spot after making back-to-back AFC Championship Game appearances. 

"When you start talking about these little details we're talking about, that's huge," he continued. "It's not a major overhaul that some of these clubs are having to go through. You're talking about 'how do we sign and how do we retain all of this great young talent."
