Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

The Raiders landed a legitimate steal in signing Chigozie Anusiem to a 2-year, $2.0M deal, earning a B+ CVI that reflects exceptional value for a rotational cornerback. At just $1.0M per year, Las Vegas is paying well below market rate for a player who profiles as a reliable depth piece capable of stepping into meaningful snaps when needed. The contract structure carries minimal risk with its short-term commitment, giving the Raiders flexibility to either extend Anusiem if he develops into a more prominent role or move on without salary cap consequences. This type of signing exemplifies smart roster building — securing competent depth at a premium position without breaking the bank. While Anusiem may not be a weekly starter, having a trustworthy rotational cornerback locked up at this price point allows the Raiders to allocate resources elsewhere while maintaining defensive depth that could prove crucial during the inevitable injuries and matchup-specific situations that arise throughout an NFL season.

Performance Analysis

Chigozie Anusiem grades as a rotational player among NFL cornerbacks — a middle-of-the-pack player at the position. His strongest area is tackling at 0.33 (below the NFL average of 3.00), ranking as among the lowest in the league for the position. Limited games played (3 career) reduces confidence in this grade.
