Jefferson is 24, and a 5 year extension would not only land short of his 30s, but like mahomes contract it would look cheap after 3 years when the rest of the market passes it.

Who's entering FA over the next several years that has an argument to re-set the market over Jefferson? Especially when Jefferson and Chase will be looking to set it at the same time.
Beyond them it's...what? Lamb is as close as I can see and isn't he on the same FA timeline as the other 2? I don't think St. Brown would. Or Aiyuk. The rest are guys like Hill, Adams, Kupp and Diggs that I can't see re-setting the market at their respective ages.
Jefferson's likely going to hold the top spot (or near enough as to make no difference) for a very long while.
