If your extension's average salary STARTs at being ~70% of the highest paid player's salary, you're not being paid as if you're elite. If you get paid 3/4ths of what a different player at the same position on YOUR OWN team got paid, you're not being paid as elite.
You can say 11th in 2024, but he was closer to being paid 15th than he was to being paid 10th. He was also 20th among WRs in guaranteed money at signing. By Week 1 of the season, he's going to be out of the top-15 and making ~65% of the highest paid player at his position.
That's not being paid as elite.
