McPherson is good enough to become the highest-paid K in the league.
The highest-paid K in the league only makes $6 mill APY.
If you are thinking McPherson is easily a Top 5, he should make at least $5 mill APY, but given how little difference there is between that and the highest-paid, just pay him $6+ mill even if you don't think he may be exactly the best in the league but close.
