He definitely has the top contract for now. But cannot really go year by year because, sure, he'll be top in 2020, but likely he wont even be top 5 the following year.Have you seen his posts over the last month? Your question is way too difficult for him to understand.
That being said, while I get your point and agree with the "concept" for this year, I think you are wrong in 2020. In 2020 Zeke will likely have the highest W-2 reported salary of any RB. He will be paid his $13M option bonus and also a salary of $6.8M. His cash payment in year 2020 is expected to be $19.8M which I believe is tops in the league
IMO Zeke is the highest paid RB in the league (for now and not by much) no matter how you frame it. At some point we have to just simplify things a little, no?
That said...thinking he and JJ are both fine with the deal.
