Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

This Jordan Phillips contract is a clear steal for Buffalo, locking up solid interior depth at well below market rate. At just $1.2M AAV over four years, the Bills are paying backup money for a player who has consistently delivered above-average run defense and periodic pass rush upside throughout his career. Phillips, now in his late twenties, represents the type of veteran presence that championship contenders need in their rotation — experienced enough to step up when called upon but affordable enough to maintain roster flexibility. The contract structure heavily favors Buffalo with minimal guaranteed money at $0.5M, creating virtually zero long-term risk if his performance declines or younger players emerge from the depth chart. While Phillips profiles as a depth piece rather than a weekly starter, this B- CVI deal exemplifies smart roster building, giving the Bills four years of reliable interior line insurance at a fraction of what similar veterans command in free agency.

Performance Analysis

Jordan Phillips earns an F grade as a veteran defensive tackle whose best years are clearly behind him. The big man has had productive stretches in his career, most notably in Buffalo, but the consistency and effort level have fluctuated. Phillips still has the raw size to occupy space, but the quick-twitch explosiveness that occasionally showed up in his prime has diminished. At his age and with his production level, he's competing against younger, cheaper alternatives for a roster spot. The Bills are likely keeping him more for locker room presence than on-field impact at this point.
