Absolutely correct. 2026 would be the first year of Chase's extension/new deal. It helps that they are spaced out some. But Higgins (extension) and Burrow (5th year option + signing bonus) both have big jumps next year. Next year will likely be the biggest leap
2023: Burrow extension pro-rated signing bonus, Higgins ext. PR SB.
2024: Burrow 5th yr option + PRSB; Higgins extension + Chase PRSB
2025: Burrow extension, Higgins extension, Chase 5th year O + PRSB
2026: All 3 on extensions.
