Here are Ja'Marr and Tee's combined cap hits, and the percentage of the overall (unadjusted) team cap of their combined cap hits in the overlapping years (2024-2027), assuming Chase also signs an extension.

Using 2025 as starting point because this is when I expect a Chase extension.

Burrow + Higgins + Chase:
2025 = 30.96%
2026 = 34.15%
2027 = 35.35%

Colts with Manning + Harrison + Wayne:
2006 = 21%
2007 = 25%
2008 = 35%

As I already pointed out in my previous post, Burrow + Higgins + Chase in 2025 and 2026 is not even close to Manning + Harrison + Wayne that Perrotta is trying to compare cap numbers to.  Manning + Harrison + Wayne were taking up 20-25% the first two years that are being compared.   Burrow + Higgins + Chase would be taking about 31-34%   That is a huge difference.  It also ignores the fact Perrotta would push Chase's cap hit to 39.5 million in 2028 and 2029 at a time when Burrow's cap hit would be  53.5 million and 68.5 million.   All this is assuming the salary cap takes a big jump in the next few year and you actually get 4 good years out of Tee hoping his hamstring can hold up.  It's just a bad way to manage the cap
