Arizona Cardinals' front office has been finding value this season, getting strong production relative to contract commitments. Across 24 contracts, 15 grade out as good value and 0 look like overpays based on comparable deals around the league. The best bang-for-the-buck deal was Zonovan Knight (A+) at $1.2M/yr — getting running back production well above the price point. The priciest commitment relative to production was Tejhaun Palmer (C-) at $0.9M/yr — the wide receiver market may have been richer than the on-field return suggests. This front office is maximizing its cap dollars and building sustainable depth.
