Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

At $1.315M AAV on a one-year deal, Elijah Moore earns a C Contract Value Index (CVI) — a grade that reflects the disconnect between his modest production and what Philadelphia is actually paying for: low-risk depth insurance with a locker room upside the raw numbers don't capture. In the 2025 season, Moore managed 112 receiving yards across nine games, output that sits firmly in the below-average range for a former second-round pick entering his fifth year in the league. That said, at $1.315M, this contract sits well below standard market rate for even a rotational receiver, which is precisely why the CVI doesn't sink further — the Eagles are paying bargain-bin money for a player with genuine NFL pedigree. Moore was a pick 34 selection in 2021, and at 25 years old he still theoretically has the athletic tools that made him a Day 2 investment, even if the on-field output has never consistently matched that billing. The media framing here is accurate and the CVI reflects it: this is a smart, low-risk depth move, not a scheme-changing acquisition, and Philadelphia's front office deserves credit for structuring it as a one-year prove-it deal rather than committing long-term to a player whose production has stalled. The one-year structure is the saving grace — there's no dead-cap exposure if Moore doesn't carve out a consistent role, and the Eagles maintain full flexibility heading into next offseason.

Performance Analysis

Elijah Moore, a five-year veteran and former second-round talent, is a slot-oriented receiver currently operating well below his draft pedigree with the Eagles. His 2025 season has been marked by a significant decline, earning a D+ grade that reflects struggling production and inconsistent involvement in Philadelphia's passing attack. Moore remains a depth piece rather than a featured weapon, far removed from the early-career promise that defined his trajectory. Current season metrics reveal a receiver struggling to generate separation and opportunity. Moore's 12.4 yards per reception matches the NFL average of 12.13, but his 12.4 yards per game falls dramatically short of the 18.39 NFL average, indicating limited volume and explosive plays. The gap between his modest per-catch average and elite-tier receivers (21.81 yards per reception) underscores his inability to create splash plays—a critical measure for slot receivers tasked with vertical stretches and yards-after-catch opportunities. Moore's downward trajectory from a C-minus rating in 2023 to consecutive D+ seasons signals a player losing relevance in an increasingly competitive receiver marketplace. His five-year body of work includes flashes of potential, but recent production suggests difficulty adapting to defensive coverages or earning consistent targets within the Eagles' scheme. Looking ahead, Moore must demonstrate renewed rapport with the quarterback and reestablish his role in the slot, or risk becoming a career reserve. His 2026 outlook hinges entirely on offensive consistency and whether Philadelphia views him as part of long-term plans.

Fan Sentiment

Eagles add depth at receiver with a low-risk, high-upside one-year deal. Multiple outlets highlight the A.J. Brown connection as the primary narrative angle here. Moore's injury history and inconsistent production represent the key downside concern. Fans view this as a solid complementary move that strengthens locker room chemistry. Philadelphia gains a talented backup option with minimal financial commitment moving forward.
