Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

This A+ CVI deal represents an absolute steal for Buffalo, locking up rotational tight end depth at bargain-basement pricing. Keleki Latu's $1.0M AAV sits well below market rate even for backup tight ends, making this three-year commitment virtually risk-free for a Bills team that values positional versatility. The modest total commitment of $3.0M over three years gives Buffalo incredible flexibility while securing a contributor who can step into multiple packages without breaking the bank. What makes this contract particularly shrewd is the length — three years provides roster stability at a position where decent depth typically commands $2-3M annually in today's market. The Bills essentially bought themselves insurance at tight end for the price of a special teams contributor, and with Latu's ability to contribute in rotational duties, this deal offers pure upside with minimal downside risk.

Performance Analysis

Keleki Latu earns a D grade as a young tight end developing with the Bills. Buffalo's passing offense creates opportunities for athletic tight ends, and Latu has the physical profile to eventually contribute as a receiving threat. His blocking ability needs work to earn more snaps in a competitive roster, but the catch radius and athletic upside are encouraging. The Bills are developing him patiently, giving him targeted reps to build his confidence and understanding of the NFL game. He's a project tight end whose payoff could come in the next year or two if the development continues.
