That said, you can't compare what teams are willing to pay players as proof that the "NFL" or "professional talent evaluators" as proof of one player being better than the other. Bad teams almost always HAVE to overpay players to get them to sign with them. That doesn't make said player better. Not to mention if players decide to take a pay cut to play for a variety of reasons.
According to your logic, "professional talent evaluators" think Tom Brady is the 16th best QB in the league behind such greats like Kirk Cousins, Jared Goff, Carson Wentz and Jimmy Garoppolo, to name a few.
What PhilHos here says. Pay isn't an end all when evaluating talent, there are tons of factors. It is true that bad teams have to
overpay players like the Jets did with Uzo. We got Hurst for much cheaper on a 1 year deal. That doesn't mean Uzo is better
than Hurst and it says something when right now Hurst is our #1 TE and Uzo is a backup to Conklin.
