Hmmm...your contention is that by not signing him now, the price goes up. Well, WHY would Chase sign now, if he could get more next year?

He can sign an extension now and get the guaranteed money up front. Injury insurance is what drives the desire to sign now. Wanting more money is what drives waiting. It's a gamble for both sides.
