Elliott Brown

Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

Elliott Brown's one-year, $0.9M deal with the Cardinals represents a fair value proposition that earns a C+ CVI rating. At just under $1M annually, this contract sits squarely in backup linebacker territory, which aligns with Brown's likely role as depth and special teams coverage. The single-year structure carries minimal risk for Arizona while giving Brown a chance to prove he belongs on an NFL roster beyond practice squad duty. Without extensive production metrics to evaluate, this deal essentially functions as an extended audition at replacement-level money, where even modest contributions on defense or standout special teams play could justify the investment. The Cardinals get a low-cost depth piece who won't break the bank if he doesn't pan out, making this the kind of sensible roster-building move that rarely moves the needle but serves a clear organizational purpose.
