DeRwin James

Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

This signing grades out as a slight overpay for the Los Angeles Chargers — the team is getting approximately what they're paying for in on-field production. DeRwin's on-field performance ranks in the upper half among NFL Ss, grading him as a solid starter at the position. His $19.1M average annual value ranks as mid-range money for the S market. The production lines up closely with the price tag — solid starter production at mid-range money, which is essentially paying fair market value. DeRwin is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract. The 4-year, $76.5M contract with $38.6M guaranteed (50%) represents a moderate investment with room to exit if needed.
