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.

I agree.  As it stands today the AAS of the Top 5 is 30M and will go up with CeeDee and Chase.  But then again Im not sure they can be using average annual salary as Tee is only getting 22M this year and this is seemingly lower than the Top 5 last season.  I also wonder how contracts like Tyreek Hill is considered as his is somewhat fake with the back loaded year? 

These new contracts seem to be more real than Tyreek's and if that is the case 20% of 30M is only 6M which would mean that Tee's 22M is below that threshold and could rise.
