Yes.
This year and next year are their prime window. If 2022 is anything like 2021 (or better) then Burrow is going to get $55m/yr before the 2023 season. If the same applies to Chase over the next 2 years, he will get $40m/yr (before the 2024 season, Jefferson is about to reset the top WR market next offseason).
Even with the expected quick rise of the salary cap with all the next deal money pouring in, it's still going to be a significantly larger % of the cap for those two than it currently is. The roster will have to be reworked. That's not even touching on if they try to keep Higgins too.
It's not often you have a QB and two great young WRs under contract for a combined average of ~$19m/yr. You need to take advantage of that while you can.
