Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

The Saints secured solid value in locking up Khristian Boyd with a four-year, $4.2M extension that earns a B CVI grade. At just $1.0M AAV, this represents excellent cost control for a depth piece who has shown flashes of interior pass rush ability and run-stopping versatility in his limited opportunities. Boyd's youth and athletic profile suggest meaningful upside despite his current depth role, making this a shrewd bet on developmental potential at minimal financial risk. The contract structure heavily favors New Orleans with only $200K guaranteed, essentially providing three team-friendly option years after the initial commitment. While Boyd hasn't established himself as more than a rotational contributor yet, this deal gives the Saints a cost-effective building block for their defensive front while maintaining flexibility if he fails to develop. For a franchise managing salary cap constraints, securing a young interior lineman with upside at this price point represents exactly the type of value-driven roster construction that builds sustainable depth.

Performance Analysis

Khristian Boyd earns a D- grade as a defensive tackle competing for a role in New Orleans' interior defensive line. The Saints' front has several established players, and Boyd is battling for the kind of rotational snaps that would give him a foothold. His run-defense contributions have been adequate in limited action, but there hasn't been enough to distinguish him from other depth options. New Orleans needs consistent interior play, and Boyd is one of several players competing to provide it. He's a practice-squad-to-active-roster bubble player at this stage.
