Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

The Vikings secured solid value with Fabian Moreau's one-year, $1.3M deal, landing what amounts to a low-risk gamble that earns a B- CVI. At just over $1M annually, Minnesota is paying depth piece money for a cornerback who has shown flashes of competence throughout his NFL career, making this a classic "prove-it" contract that favors the franchise. Moreau's veteran experience provides insurance in a secondary that can never have too many capable bodies, and at 30 years old, he's at an age where teams can still extract meaningful snaps without betting on long-term development. The single-year structure eliminates any future salary commitments while giving the Vikings flexibility to either retain him if he performs or move on without penalty. This represents shrewd roster management — Minnesota gets a serviceable defensive back who can contribute on special teams and step into the rotation if needed, all while maintaining complete control over their 2025 cap situation.

Performance Analysis

Fabian Moreau's F grade is a tough pill to swallow for a cornerback who has been a reliable starter across 124 career games with five different teams. His seven career interceptions and 45 passes defended over nine seasons show a player who has consistently been around the ball, even if the big plays have not come frequently enough. The 2025 season with Minnesota was limited to 11 games with 17 tackles and two passes defended, a significant step back from his more productive years in Denver and New York. At this stage of his career, Moreau is a veteran corner whose best football is behind him, grading below replacement level despite the impressive longevity. The Vikings are likely keeping him around for his experience and locker room presence rather than expecting him to be a difference-maker on the field.
