Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

The Lions handed Brock Wright a slight overpay at $4.0M annually, earning a D+ CVI that reflects Detroit's premium pricing for an unproven commodity at tight end. Wright falls into the unproven performance tier, making his $12M total deal look rich compared to what similarly situated players typically command on the open market. At this stage of his career, the 25-year-old is still more potential than production, which makes the guaranteed $4.6M a meaningful financial commitment for a player who hasn't established himself as a reliable NFL contributor. The three-year structure does give Detroit flexibility to move on after two seasons if Wright fails to develop, but the front-loaded guarantees suggest they're betting on upside that may not materialize. This contract represents the Lions paying starter money for a player who's closer to replacement-level production, a risky investment that could easily become dead weight if Wright doesn't take a significant developmental leap in Year 1.

Performance Analysis

Brock Wright earns an F for the Lions at tight end, a blocking specialist who has not contributed meaningfully to Detroit's passing attack. Wright's value is almost exclusively as an in-line blocker, and even in that role, his performance has been below what the Lions expect. His receiving contributions are minimal, with limited routes and even fewer targets. Detroit has invested in their tight end room, and Wright is at the bottom of the depth chart for a reason. He is a practice-squad caliber player who fills a very specific niche but does not impact the outcome of games.
