Joshua Pitsenberger

Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

Joshua Pitsenberger earns a C+ Contract Value Index (CVI) on a three-year deal worth roughly $1.03M AAV — a modest figure that reflects his standing as a depth piece at a position where the market is saturated with affordable options. Without current season stats on record, his production tier is difficult to pin down with certainty, and that ambiguity itself is part of what keeps the CVI from climbing higher. At just over $1M annually, the contract sits at the very low end of the running back market, which works in the Texans' favor from a cap-exposure standpoint — there is minimal financial risk here, but equally minimal expectation of high-impact contribution. The Houston front office has been active in recent weeks adding multiple roster-fringe players at receiver, cornerback, and other positions, suggesting this is a period of broad roster evaluation and camp competition rather than a targeted investment in a proven commodity. A three-year term at this price point is standard for a developmental or depth back — it gives the team flexibility to move on without meaningful dead-cap consequence if Pitsenberger doesn't separate himself from the competition. The CVI grade reflects what this essentially is: a low-risk, low-ceiling roster addition that could provide value as a camp body but offers little assurance of regular-season relevance on a team that finished 12-5.
