I feel like we are being trolled. If the team wants to make him the top paid receiver as rumored, and that's what he wants, then what barriers are left? The framework is as laid out as it you could possibly want.
If Chase wants a crack at a third contract before age 30, then the time to sign is now. For the team, it's as cheap as it's ever going to be. Makes sense for both sides to knock it out.
The only thing I can think of is that perhaps the team sees the bottom dropping out of the receiver market in the next 2 years. I think that's a thing that will happen, but probably not that soon. Give him a 3 year deal. Let him hope for another before he ages out, then see how it goes after that.
