Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

The Dolphins secured solid value with Ethan Bonner's one-year, $1.1M deal, landing a proven rotational cornerback at essentially minimum salary — a clear steal in today's inflated secondary market. At just over $1M annually, Miami is paying practice squad money for a player who has demonstrated NFL-caliber coverage skills and special teams reliability across multiple seasons. The short-term commitment eliminates long-term risk while giving the Dolphins a cost-effective depth piece who can step into the rotation without missing a beat. Bonner's B+ CVI reflects the rarity of finding legitimate NFL experience at this price point, especially at a premium position where even backup-quality corners typically command $3-4M annually. This shrewd signing gives Miami defensive flexibility and cap space to address bigger needs, proving that smart front offices can still unearth value in the bargain bin when they target the right veterans willing to bet on themselves.
