Chase is clearly going to want to be right there with these top guys in yearly average. If he wants to have the highest contract at the time of signing this is probably the time to do it. I assume the real hang up is the guaranteed money.
Chase shouldn't average the same money per year as Jefferson or Lamb. What you are saying is Chase should be paid 20+ million more than Jefferson and Lamb because he has 2 years left on his rookie contract while they have just one. I'm not sure why anyone would think Chase playing just 3 seasons while Jefferson/Lamb have played 4 entitles Chase to get 20+ million more. That's the logic though. Chase playing less years than Jefferson and Lamb means he is entitled to 20+ million more than those guys. Makes sense.
Like I said before if you signed Chase to the 4 year extension this year but the money doesn't kick in until season 5 like Jefferson and Lamb would you still try to justify 160 million for Chase? If you averaged that extension over 5 years like Jefferson/Lamb this would put Chase at 36.36 million per year which is much higher than both Jefferson and Lamb.
