Guys at WR got huge paydays in 2024. When 2025 rolls around (the year that Tee would get a 2nd tag in this theoretical) then 2024 IS the previous year.

So the 2025 tag number for Tee's 2nd tag might not just be 120% of his 2024 tag number, it could be higher. A second tag gets either 120% OR the new tag if the new year's tag is more than 120%. The player always gets the higher of the two numbers. So just throwing out a number, if the WR franchise tag in 2025 is $28m, Tee would get $28m for his 2nd tag despite it being more than 120% of his 2024 1st tag.

Not certain it will be more than 120% in 2025, but it is a possibility in play with all these absurd deals getting handed out.
