Ah, didn't know that, thanks Truck.

Lamb:

2023  1,749 yards  12 TDs  13.0 yards per reception

2022  1,359 yards  9 TDs  12.7 yards per reception

Chase:

2023  1,216 yards  7 TDs  12.2 yards per reception

2022  1,046 yards  9 TDs  12.0 yards per reception

With Lamb signing a 4 year 136 million extension with 100 million guaranteed, a fair 4 year contract extension for Chase should be about 132 million with 95 million guaranteed.

Thanks for the numbers, still think Chase is better than Lamb though and will cost a touch more.

When you argue "so what?" it's tieing up massive amount of the salary cap to a player that either isn't trying to risk injury or flat out not playing when all you had to do in the first place was show him some loyalty and pay him the contract he deserves.... but to each their own I guess I'd rather see Chase paid in the most team friendly way possible which is now.

Yep, the point is keeping the man happy and he clearly wants the extension now and it would be best for all parties involved.

He will be cheaper now than waiting till after he has his best season this year which is what I expect.
