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.

Exactly

There's just a bunch of factors that can come into play on a given players salary. Teams are sometimes desperate for help at a given position and overpay. Teams think they're a couple players away from a ring and go nuts in free agency. Key Injuries can factor in. Just on and on.

In short using a given players salary to gauge his worth just doesn't pan out much.
