Chubb is a valuable asset and rates pretty well in objective stats (for example better pass rush and run stop win rates than Nick Bosa last year, though the latter was double teamed far more often).
He may be overpaid but there is no short term fix for that and the Fins are better with him than without. Phillips unarguably became more successful after Chubb arrived. He is only 27 and will probably get better once recovered from the injury.
High level talent--even overpaid high level talent--is scarce in the NFL and bringing in Chubb was the kind of costly but necessary move to meet the current window of contention. Ditto for Armstead and Hill. Longer term we will hopefully acquire an increasing share of our top talent through the draft and selectively trade some of it for picks before having to overpay for contract extensions. Or just don't extend and take the comp picks and continue the restocking process.
