Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

The Falcons handed Charlie Woerner a puzzling $4M AAV contract that earns an F CVI grade, representing a significant overpay for a tight end who remains largely unproven at the NFL level. Woerner's performance tier suggests he's closer to replacement-level than the solid starter his salary would indicate, making this deal particularly head-scratching in a tight end market where proven producers can be found for similar money. At 28, he's entering what should be his prime years, but the three-year commitment feels like Atlanta betting on upside that simply hasn't materialized through five NFL seasons. The $4.2M guaranteed provides some protection for the player while limiting the Falcons' flexibility if this experiment continues to underwhelm. This contract looks like classic roster-building malpractice — paying starter money for a player whose track record suggests he belongs in a complementary role at best, leaving Atlanta with poor value at a position where efficiency matters more than ever.

Performance Analysis

Charlie Woerner earns an F for the Falcons at tight end, a blocking-first tight end whose receiving contributions have been virtually nonexistent. Woerner's job is to block in-line, and even in that limited role, his performance has been below average. Atlanta's offense does not get anything from him in the passing game, which limits his overall impact to a handful of blocking snaps per game. The Falcons need more from their tight end room, and Woerner is not providing it at any phase. He is a roster filler more than a legitimate NFL contributor.

Current Sentiment

Charlie Woerner operates as a depth tight end for the Atlanta Falcons with minimal public profile or recent media coverage entering the 2026 season. His career production—26 receptions for 214 yards across six seasons—reflects a reserve role rather than a featured offensive weapon, which typically generates limited fan interest or notable beat coverage. At $4.0M annually, he represents a modest contract commitment appropriate for a backup-caliber player without standout statistical accomplishments or breakout moments that would elevate his reputation. The absence of significant news coverage, positive or negative, suggests he occupies a stable but unremarkable position within the franchise hierarchy. Overall, Woerner maintains a neutral standing typical of complementary tight ends who function competently within a supporting role without generating meaningful sentiment either direction.
