You’re missing the biggest component. It’s not about having the money, it’s about resetting the baseline of NIL pay for your entire team based off of a decent one year player. If you have a guaranteed SEC stud, sure pay him. If you are bringing in a depth piece who’s unproven you don’t pay him so much that it upsets the rest of the team. It’s not the cost of paying him 500k-1 mil, it’s the total cost of now upping the ante for all of your DL and the stars on the team in general.
Should a transfer DL be getting more than your QB or a player like Perkins?

Spot on.
In a vacuum, LSU can afford to give Williams his $1M+ NIL deal. What LSU can't afford is to do that and give Nuss, Campbell, Jones, Perkins, etc. etc. etc. $1M+ NIL commensurate with their production. If I am Perkins and I see Williams brought in at $1M+, you better believe I am telling the coaches I am worth $2M+
Again, it's not about the 1 player in a vacuum. It's about the 84 other players on the team.
