Dae'quan Wright

Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

Dae'quan Wright earns a C+ Contract Value Index (CVI) on a three-year deal carrying an AAV of roughly $1M, which is about as low-risk as NFL contracts get — the Eagles are essentially buying a lottery ticket on developmental upside at near-minimum cost. With no current season stats to lean on, Wright enters the league as a true rookie with his evaluation resting entirely on his SEC tape, where his ability to produce big plays while working through injuries stood out as the most compelling indicator of his ceiling. At that price point, the CVI reflects the reality that even if Wright never sees regular-season snaps, Philadelphia absorbs virtually no financial consequence, making this the kind of signing that front offices make without losing sleep. The camp-body framing is explicit in the media coverage — he arrived as one of eight undrafted signings, which tells you everything about where he sits on the depth chart heading into the offseason program. Dallas Goedert's entrenched status at the top of the tight end room means Wright's most realistic near-term outcome is a practice squad roster spot, not an immediate contributor role. The three-year term is standard UDFA structure and carries no meaningful cap risk, so the ceiling on organizational downside here is essentially zero — the only question is whether Wright's athleticism translates to enough in-game production to stick around.
