Jake Curhan

Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

The Seattle Seahawks are taking a low-risk flyer on Jake Curhan with this modest $1.2M deal, but even at that price point, this signing earns a D- CVI given the guard's unproven track record. While $1.2M represents near-minimum investment for an interior lineman, Curhan hasn't demonstrated the consistency or skill set that typically translates to reliable NFL production, making this more of a camp body signing than a meaningful roster addition. The one-year structure limits downside exposure, essentially functioning as an extended tryout with minimal financial commitment, but the Seahawks are banking on upside that simply hasn't materialized in Curhan's limited opportunities. At 25, he's still young enough to theoretically develop, yet his inability to secure a more substantial role despite multiple chances suggests he's closer to replacement-level than the solid starter teams need on the interior. This contract represents exactly what you'd expect for an unproven player — minimal risk, minimal reward, and a D- CVI that reflects the long odds of getting meaningful value even at this bargain price.

Performance Analysis

Jake Curhan receives an F grade as a journeyman offensive lineman who has played for four teams across five seasons without establishing a starting role. His 15 games across stints with Seattle, Chicago, and Arizona represent sporadic playing time that has not led to consistent opportunities. Curhan has been a swing tackle and backup guard throughout his career, filling in when needed but never displacing a starter. The 2025 season in Arizona featured 14 games, which was his most extensive action, but the F grade indicates the performance was below replacement level even with the increased opportunity. Now a free agent, Curhan's future depends on whether a team values his versatility enough to bring him in as a depth piece for another training camp.
