Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

The Eagles secured solid value with Jakorian Bennett's four-year, $4.7M extension, landing what amounts to a borderline steal for a young cornerback with upside. At just $1.2M AAV with minimal guaranteed money, Philadelphia is paying depth piece rates for a player who's shown flashes of above-average coverage ability and could easily outperform this modest investment. Bennett's age curve works heavily in the Eagles' favor here — he's entering his prime developmental window where corners typically make their biggest leaps, making this contract structure particularly shrewd. The minimal risk profile with only $800K guaranteed gives Philadelphia tremendous flexibility while locking up a corner who could develop into a legitimate starter at backup money. This B-grade CVI reflects exactly the type of calculated bet contending teams should make on young defensive backs, where the upside far outweighs the downside risk and the Eagles position themselves to either retain quality depth or flip an ascending asset down the line.

Performance Analysis

Jakorian Bennett grades at a D- as a young cornerback who has bounced between the Raiders and Eagles without locking down a consistent starting role. His 65 tackles, 12 passes defended, and zero interceptions across 35 games tell the story of a corner who is competitive in coverage but has not made the kind of impact plays that separate starters from backups. The 12 passes defended is a solid number, but the zero picks through 35 games is a glaring weakness that needs to be addressed. Bennett's 2025 season with the Eagles featured 11 games, showing he can earn playing time on a talented roster. He needs to start turning those pass breakups into turnovers if he wants to establish himself as a long-term starter at the next level.
