No it actually doesn't.

Tyreek Hill got paid after Brown, St Brown, and Jefferson, and his new money averaged less than all three.
Waddle got paid after Brown and St Brown and still got less than them.
DJ Moore got paid after Brown, St Brown, AND Waddle and got less than them.

The next guy signed doesn't automatically just reset the market every single time.

Top-5 isn't the same as "more money than Jefferson". Other top-5 WRs got paid this offseason and none of them got more money than Jefferson and nobody expected them to get more money than Jefferson.

$35m/yr is very measurable, and Chase isn't going to get ir or more than it without an absolute monster 2024 season. That's practically common sense.

Also what's with the personal attacks, Sooner?
