Ja'Marr Chase's offseason trainer is already noticing positive effects of getting contract extension done and over with

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase no longer has to prove himself worthy of a new contract.

The four-year, $161 million extension he signed nearly two weeks ago made him the highest-paid non-quarterback on a per year basis in NFL history, and he'll keep that title for at least a little while longer.

In order to keep that money coming in, Chase needs to build off his historic 2024 triple crown season.

The work that goes into leading the league in receiving happens now, months away from even training camp starting back up.

Work that becomes a bit easier now that the contract itself has been dealt with.

Chase trains in the offseason under Mo Wells, the director Pro and Elite Sports in Dallas, Texas.

Wells has worked with Chase his entire professional career, and ever since pen met paper earlier this month, he's noticed how certain stress is no longer weighing down on the 25-year old wideout.

"He's happy.

You can tell that.

He's always the same.

He never changes.

But he's happy." Wells told Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com .

"He's really the same from a personality standpoint.

But now that pressure is off him getting that deal done.

Now his shoulders can drop a little bit and just really focus on his training and playing ball." A post shared by Mo Wells CSCS | USAW | PES | C-EP | LMT (@moknowz) Chase is in a spot he's never been in before.

He's accomplished a great many things in the last six years like winning the Biletnikoff Award and a College Football Playoff Championship in the same year, becoming a top-five NFL Draft pick and the first receiver off the board, and making his fourth consecutive Pro Bowl the same season he broke through the First Team All-Pro barrier and joined the exclusive triple crown club.

All of that led to a payday no receiver, or any non-QB, has ever seen before.

He's at the actual top of his game physically, statistically, and financially.

Sustaining this level will be tough to do, which is why eliminating distractions is so important.

Now that the negotiating is done, all that matters is putting in the work.

It sounds like that's exactly what's happening.
