Comparing to Von is definitely wishful thinking — Chris is still a few years younger than Von was when he signed, and doesn’t have the injury history Von had.
The far more likely outcome is Aaron Donald’s trajectory, who like Chris, didn’t have a bad injury history.
Chris of course is entering his age 30 season. When was Donald’s age 30 season you may wonder?
The year he carried the Rams to a Super Bowl victory.
Barring catastrophic injury, it’s at least 2025 before we see signs of slowing down and might be more like 2027 before we feel the juice is no longer worth the squeeze.
