IMO NFL agents are bad at math. JaMaar Chase is looking at a salary of less than $5M in 2024, followed by option year at $24M. And potentially followed by a tagged year at 30+M (with no signing bonus). That's 3 years for ~$58M and no signing bonus. Jefferson will be paid $78M for the same period, mostly due to the $37M signing bonus.
It would make all the sense in the world to give a hometown discount to void the remaining years on the contract and get a contract that gives the player the security of a signing bonus and multiyear contract even if it isn't the "biggest contract ever". Seems every new contract has to jump aboard the hype train.
