It's all about his performance within the context of how much money he is asking for. Would I give him 15-16 million a year and feel good about it? Sure. Anything more than that? Not sure.
And I'm sorry, but having a good couple of games in the playoffs doesn't just completely make up for your below average season.
Also he was a 2nd team all pro in 2020 and a top 10 safety as a rookie. He has shown elite ability his entire career.

He made plays in the post season, yes, but need to have consistency to be the highest paid safety in the league. It also doesn’t help that he openly complained about it multiple times throughout the season. If signing him to huge money means sacrificing quality linemen, and am definitely not doing that.

He never bitched out management and he handeld himself like a true pro.
As far as consistency goes he was top ten Safety as a rookie, he was a top 12 safety in the second half of 2019, and he was an 2nd team all pro in 2020. I'm confident that the regular season was an outlier for him.
