They did not tear up 2024 and 2025 contracts. To me that makes it very relevant as in today's market, he got 97.5 million for 5 years or less than 20 million a year.

What the man still has owed to him by the team for his original deal has nothing to do with how much they are paying him for those additional years. Positional value is determined by performance and availability, Smith has clearly demonstrated to be better in both areas than Higgins, thus he earned a $25M/per extension. Tee Higgins' agent may be telling him that he's worth $25M/per, but his stats and snaps played percentage don't align with that value.
