I'd say that his 4.5M fits in the correct order with the 5.25 - 6M of these other players. If they are overpaid then he is as well.

None of them got one more dollar than what one or several teams thought they were worth.
They got exactly what the free market was willing to pay even if only one team was willing to pay that amount
One thing you fail to acknowledge or perhaps understand is that there is no acquisition cost for UFAs.
That is the reason that the free market price is always higher.
How much money is a first round pick worth....or 2 1st or 2 2nd round picks?
In most situations, picks or players of similar value is what the acquisition cost would have been.
