Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

This Raiders deal for Brodric Martin-Rhodes represents a legitimate steal in today's defensive tackle market, earning an impressive A- CVI that reflects exceptional value for a productive interior presence. At just $1.4M annually, Las Vegas locked up a rotational player who can contribute meaningful snaps at a price point that's become virtually extinct for competent defensive tackles — even depth pieces are commanding $3-4M in the current market. The four-year structure with $3.8M guaranteed provides excellent cost certainty while giving the Raiders flexibility to develop Martin-Rhodes into a more prominent role without breaking the bank. For a franchise that's been aggressive in roster construction, securing reliable interior depth at this price allows them to allocate resources elsewhere while maintaining defensive line quality. This is exactly the type of under-the-radar value signing that championship teams rely on — getting starter-quality production from a rotational player on a contract that looks more like a practice squad promotion than a legitimate NFL deal.

Performance Analysis

Brodric Martin-Rhodes earns a D for the Raiders at defensive tackle, a rotational player whose impact on the interior has been limited. Martin-Rhodes has the size to be a space-eater against the run, but he has not developed the pass-rush ability needed to be a three-down contributor. Las Vegas uses him in early-down run packages where his job is to hold his gap and eat blocks. That is about the extent of his contributions — he is a limited player doing limited things on a defense that needs more. The Raiders would benefit from finding a more dynamic option on the interior.

Current Sentiment

Brodric Martin-Rhodes enters 2026 as a depth defensive lineman with modest contract value ($1.4M) and limited statistical production across three NFL seasons, having recorded zero sacks, forced fumbles, or interceptions. The recent waiver claim by Las Vegas following his Pittsburgh release suggests organizational confidence in his potential, though the 'lost to waivers' framing indicates the Steelers were willing to move on from him. Media coverage reflects a journeyman trajectory rather than breakthrough momentum—headlines emphasize roster moves and organizational interest rather than on-field impact or player development. His Alabama pedigree provides some credibility, but the complete absence of production metrics and the waiver-wire nature of his acquisition indicate he remains a speculative depth piece rather than an ascending player. Overall sentiment leans cautiously skeptical, with the Raiders viewing him as a reclamation project rather than a cornerstone contributor to defensive line depth.
