No, nowhere near that. $17.5M over four years? In total value? That's nowhere near the top. 

For perspective. 

Ramcyzk's deal is $96M
O'Neill's deal is $92.5M
Moton's deal is $85M
Johnson's deal is $72M
Smith's deal is $70M
Conklin's deal is $60M
Havenstein's deal is $34.5M
Okorafor's deal is $29.25M
Collins' deal is $21M
Neal's deal is $24.5M
Sewell's deal is $24M
Becton's deal is $18.4M
McGlinchey's deal is $18.3M
Wirf's deal is $18.3M

Resigning Taylor at $17.5M over four years with $3.5M up front is a steal, IMHO. However, he's probably going to get a team willing to throw $20M+ at him over four years. Wirfs and McGlinchey are probably going to push close, if not, more than what the Saints gave Ramczyk when their initial deals are up.
