Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

The Raiders pulled off a genuine steal by securing Jamin Davis at just $1.2M AAV, earning an A CVI that reflects exceptional value in today's linebacker market. Davis slots in as a serviceable starter — the kind of reliable, middle-tier linebacker who typically commands $4-6M annually in free agency, making this deal roughly 75% below market rate for his production tier. The former first-round pick is still just 25 years old and entering his prime years, giving Las Vegas significant upside if he continues developing after his disappointing stint in Washington. This appears to be a prove-it deal that carries minimal financial risk while offering substantial reward potential, as Davis could easily outperform this bargain-basement contract. The Raiders essentially landed starting-caliber linebacker depth for backup money, a savvy move that strengthens their defense without hampering their salary cap flexibility.

Performance Analysis

Jamin Davis grades as a serviceable starter among NFL linebackers — a middle-of-the-pack player at the position. His strongest area is tackling at 1.50 (below the NFL average of 3.80), ranking as well below average for the position.

Fan Sentiment

A disappointing end to a failed first-round experiment at linebacker. Multiple outlets reported the clean roster cut with no notable pushback or controversy. The key signal is Davis never developed beyond a rotational role despite his 2021 draft pedigree. Fans lament another wasted first-round pick, questioning the Raiders' historical draft evaluation process. Las Vegas must now identify a replacement, likely promoting an in-house depth option or targeting free agency.
