Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

Jon Rhattigan's one-year, $1.1M deal with the Las Vegas Raiders earns a C CVI — a textbook fair-value contract that reflects both the uncertainty around his NFL trajectory and the team's measured approach to special teams depth. At $1.1M annually, the Raiders are paying replacement-level money for an unproven linebacker whose primary value comes through special teams coverage rather than defensive snaps. The short-term structure makes perfect sense given Rhattigan's limited track record, allowing Las Vegas to evaluate his potential without significant financial commitment while maintaining roster flexibility for 2025. This isn't a bargain-hunting coup, but it's also not an overpay for a player who needs to prove he can contribute meaningfully beyond special teams units. The deal represents smart roster construction — filling a necessary depth role at appropriate market rate while keeping future options open.

Performance Analysis

Jon Rhattigan earns an F grade as a linebacker on the fringes of the Raiders' roster. His NFL career has been defined by special teams contributions and practice squad stints, and breaking through to a meaningful defensive role has proven elusive. Las Vegas has been cycling through linebackers as the franchise rebuilds, but Rhattigan hasn't capitalized on the openings. His hustle and effort are noted by coaches, but the athletic limitations cap his ceiling at the NFL level. He's fighting to stay in the league at this point.
