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.

And we're paying 23% of our cap to Mahomes. That makes the whole discussion very different. But you guys are just flat ignoring that whole aspect, and the history of what a cap hit like that means to Super Bowl contention.
We bucked history in '22. Nobody's ever paid their QB over 13% and won it. Now we're going to almost double that and try again.
We'll be right there in the mix, but we're going to have to grow our own for the most part over the next couple of years.
We have the Ferrari. His name is Mahomes, and we're paying the Patrick price for him.
