Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

This signing grades out as a slight overpay for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers — the team is getting approximately what they're paying for in on-field production. Chase's on-field performance ranks in the bottom third among NFL PKs, grading him as a depth piece at the position. His $4.1M average annual value ranks as below-market money for the PK market. The production lines up closely with the price tag — depth piece production at below-market money, which is essentially paying fair market value. Chase is still in or near his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract. The 3-year, $12.3M contract with $5.0M guaranteed (41%) represents a moderate investment with room to exit if needed.
