What were JJ's actions last year? That's most likely the best comparison; although, JJ is a little better at the same point in their careers.
Can't think of an example of the top of my head. However, you can't negotiate an extension until your 4th year and only 1st round picks can be picked up for a 5th year option, so that narrows the field a lot.
However, his representation knows Jefferson, Lamb, and Aiyuk played nice last year and none of them got a deal done. This year, Jefferson and Aiyuk have also held in and Lamb held out. Jefferson and Lamb have been paid already. So, if his goal is to get an extension this year, precedent tells us that he needs to start exerting pressure this year.
