C.j. Hanson

Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

The Chiefs secured decent value by locking up C.J. Hanson at $1M AAV over two years, earning a C+ CVI that represents a fair deal for interior line depth. While Hanson profiles as a solid rotational guard rather than an every-down starter, his $1M annual salary sits right in the sweet spot for that tier of player — not expensive enough to create roster flexibility issues, but providing legitimate NFL-caliber depth along the offensive line. At this price point, Kansas City isn't betting heavily on upside, but they're also not overpaying for a known commodity who can step in when needed. The two-year structure gives the Chiefs short-term roster stability without long-term commitment, which is exactly what you want for a depth piece who may need to compete for snaps annually. This signing reflects smart roster building — paying appropriately for a player who fills a specific role without breaking the bank or creating future salary complications.
