Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

**STEAL ALERT:** Albert Okwuegbunam Jr.'s $0.8M AAV deal with Las Vegas earns an exceptional A CVI grade, representing one of the league's best tight end values this cycle. While Okwuegbunam profiles as a depth piece rather than a featured starter, securing any NFL-caliber tight end production at under $1M annually is remarkable in today's inflated market where even middling veterans command $3-4M per season. The former Denver fourth-rounder brings legitimate red zone size at 6'5" and has flashed receiving ability when healthy, making this a classic low-risk, high-reward flyer that could pay massive dividends if he stays on the field. Given the Raiders' need for pass-catching depth behind their primary targets, this bargain-bin signing gives them a legitimate developmental piece without hampering their salary cap flexibility. This is exactly the type of shrewd roster building that allows teams to allocate premium dollars elsewhere while still adding meaningful competition to the tight end room.

Performance Analysis

Albert Okwuegbunam Jr. earns a D- with the Raiders, slotting him as one of the lower-graded tight ends on Las Vegas's roster. The athletic traits that got him drafted are still visible on tape, but they have not translated into the kind of production that earns trust from a coaching staff. His hands have been unreliable in key situations, and he has not developed as a blocker at the NFL level. The Raiders have options at tight end, and Okwuegbunam is behind in the competition for playing time. Without a significant improvement in consistency, his path to meaningful snaps is narrowing.
