He isnt as good as Jefferson and he isnt as good as Lamb so he isnt going to get more guaranteed money than those guys. I think realistically Chase should expect between what AJ Brown got and what Lamb got. Maybe 90 million, maybe as high as 95. I dont know but the 160million extension with 120 million guaranteed Chase's agent is proposing is ridiculous. If Chase wants a deal done, come back with a serious offer that's between AJ Brown and Lamb.
Jefferson and Lamb both saw 180+ targets in their best seasons. Chase has never seen anywhere close to that. It will be interesting to see just how much Chase’s target share goes up once both Tee and Boyd are gone.
But as Synric pointed out, it’s not really about whether he is the 2nd, or 3rd, or 4th best WR or wherever exactly you want to rank him. It’s about being in the same tier as those guys, and that means he’s going to be paid accordingly. Which is why it would be smart to get it done now, as the price is only going to go up.
