Contract Value Index (CVI)
This signing grades out as a significant overpay for the Houston Texans — the team is paying more than the on-field production currently warrants. Ka'imi's on-field performance ranks in the bottom third among NFL PKs, grading him as a depth piece at the position. His $6.5M average annual value ranks as below-market money for the PK market. The concern here is the gap between production and cost — depth piece output at below-market money means the team is paying a premium above the player's on-field value. Ka'imi is still in or near his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract. The 2-year, $13.0M deal keeps the commitment short, giving the team financial flexibility to move on if performance drops.
Performance Analysis

His 2025 season graded as a A-, a significant jump from his C- mark in 2024.
