Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

The Buccaneers secured excellent value by locking up Devin Culp at just $1M AAV over four years, earning a solid B CVI for what amounts to a low-risk flier on developmental talent. While Culp grades as a depth piece in terms of current production, Tampa Bay is paying him like the replacement-level player he is today rather than betting heavily on upside, making this the type of shrewd roster-building move that championship contenders execute. The contract structure heavily favors the team with minimal guaranteed money ($0.1M), giving them maximum flexibility to cut bait if Culp doesn't develop while retaining him at bargain rates if he emerges as a contributor. For a tight end room that needs reliable depth behind their established starters, bringing in a young player at this price point represents smart asset management. This deal exemplifies how teams can fill out their roster with upside players without meaningful financial risk, and if Culp takes even a modest step forward, the Bucs will have a quality contributor locked up at well below market rates.

Performance Analysis

Devin Culp earns a D- for the Buccaneers at tight end, a blocking-first tight end who has provided minimal value in Tampa Bay's passing attack. Culp's receiving contributions have been essentially zero, and his blocking has been adequate but not dominant. The Buccaneers need versatility from their tight ends, and Culp offers only one dimension. He fills a niche role in heavy formations, but that role is increasingly limited in today's pass-first NFL. Tampa Bay has better options who contribute in more ways.
