Ja'Marr Chase nearing two NFL records after huge 'MNF' performance vs. Cowboys

That effort gave him his 18th career touchdown catch of 40 or more yards and he's only 24. Hall of Famer Randy Moss is the only player in NFL history who has more before the age of 25 (22).

Chase turns 25 in March and could still reach Moss' mark but even if he doesn't that's still a prominent short list to be on.

He's also third in receiving touchdowns through the first four years of his career with 44, trailing just Jerry Rice (49) and Moss (53) with four games still remaining.

Approaching that kind of history will only strengthen Chase's case at the negotiating table as he seeks a new deal with the team ahead of the final year of his contract.

Former player Darius Butler laid out why Chase deserves whatever money he asks for during "The Pat McAfee Show" on Tuesday.

Chase is being paid just over $1 million this season and is owed $21.8M in 2026 as part of the fifth-year option on his rookie deal..

He's made it well known after holding out during the preseason that he wants a contract bigger than Minnesota Vikings star and former college teammate Justin Jefferson, albeit by just one penny.

Whether an extension is actually imminent is yet to be seen but Chase has proved he's worth every penny to the franchise despite it's poor record this year.
