Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

The Bills landed a legitimate steal by securing Bradley Chubb at $14.5M AAV, earning an A- CVI that reflects exceptional value in today's inflated pass rusher market. While Chubb profiles as a serviceable starter rather than an elite edge defender, his production tier dramatically outperforms his salary slot — comparable pass rushers are commanding $18-22M annually, making Buffalo's deal look like shrewd front office work. At 28, Chubb enters his prime years with the durability questions from his Denver tenure now behind him, and the three-year structure gives the Bills flexibility without the massive long-term commitment that typically accompanies edge rusher contracts. The $21.8M in guaranteed money provides reasonable downside protection while keeping the Bills' championship window wide open with manageable cap hits. Buffalo essentially acquired a proven commodity who can consistently generate pressure and stop the run at a discount rate, giving them crucial defensive depth without sacrificing their ability to retain other core pieces.

Performance Analysis

Bradley Chubb grades as a rotational player among NFL linebackers — a middle-of-the-pack player at the position. His strongest area is sack production at 0.50 (well above the NFL average of 0.23), ranking as elite for the position. Tackling, at 2.76 compared to an NFL average of 3.80, is where he falls short relative to the position. His profile suggests a pass-rush specialist rather than an every-down linebacker.

Fan Sentiment

Buffalo lands a proven pass rusher to bolster their edge rotation alongside Greg Rousseau. Multiple outlets highlight Chubb's fit with Rousseau as a complementary threat off the edge. The three-year, $43.5M deal signals the Bills view Chubb as a legitimate starter, not just depth. Fans are cautiously optimistic but note Chubb's injury history in Miami as a real concern. If healthy, Chubb gives Buffalo a legitimate two-headed edge attack that could elevate their defense.
