Here, let me put it this way:
Adams and Hopkins are the same class of player. They're very similar. I would certainly put them in the same tier.
Adams goes for $30M. Hopkins goes for $18M
That is clear and obvious VALUE.
A WR of Hopkins pedigree, in today's WR market, is worth around $30M a season as per Adam's contract.
So to get a WR of that pedigree for $12M LESS is the definition of value.
So if you're approaching this from a strictly value standpoint, how in the world is Hopkins not coming at a value price?
Value is a relative term here.
Yes, a Ferrari is too rich for my blood. And a Ferrari for $100,000 less than market price is a freakin' value purchase. Doesn't mean i can afford it. It's still value though.
And maybe the Chiefs CAN'T afford Hopkins or OBJ. IDK. Either way, it's still a value signing.
So yes, OBJ and Hopkins absolutely fit the "Value tier" logic. Value doesn't mean bottom barrel prices for bottom tier players. It's relative.
