Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

This signing grades out as a significant overpay for the Houston Texans — the team is paying more than the on-field production currently warrants. Brandon's on-field performance ranks in the bottom quartile among NFL CBs, grading him as an unproven at the position. His $1.1M average annual value ranks as bargain money for the CB market. The concern here is the gap between production and cost — unproven output at bargain money means the team is paying a premium above the player's on-field value. Brandon is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract.

Performance Analysis

Brandon Codrington's D- performance grade places him firmly in replacement-level territory among NFL cornerbacks, struggling to establish himself as a reliable defensive back despite his second-year status. His limited impact shows in just 4 games played this season, indicating he's failed to carve out a consistent role in Houston's defensive rotation or earn meaningful snaps at cornerback. The former undrafted player's primary value appears to lie in his return specialist experience rather than his coverage abilities, which have proven inadequate for regular defensive duty. His youth at 25 years old provides some developmental runway, but the performance data suggests he's trending more toward a special teams-only role than legitimate cornerback depth. Media coverage frames this as exactly what it appears to be—a low-risk futures contract for a player whose All-Rookie recognition came from return duties rather than defensive impact, making him a practice squad candidate competing for special teams roles rather than a cornerback Houston can count on when injuries hit.

Fan Sentiment

A low-risk depth signing with modest upside as a versatile defensive back and returner. Five headlines covered the move, noting his Bills and Jets experience and former All-Rookie Team recognition. His return specialist ability is the strongest selling point for Houston's special teams. Fans are mildly curious given the Bills' All-Rookie nod, but expectations remain grounded. Codrington projects as a camp competitor who needs a strong preseason to earn a roster spot.
