Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

The Eagles secured solid depth at a reasonable price with Michael Carter II's one-year, $2.8M deal, earning a C CVI that reflects fair market value for a rotational cornerback. Carter II profiles as a depth piece who can step in when needed, and Philadelphia paid accordingly — his $2.8M AAV sits right in the sweet spot for backup defensive backs who aren't expected to be week-one starters but provide valuable insurance. The short-term commitment works perfectly for both sides, as the Eagles avoid long-term risk while Carter II gets a chance to prove he deserves a larger role in their secondary. With only $1.4M guaranteed, Philadelphia maintains flexibility if Carter II doesn't pan out, while the veteran gets an opportunity to potentially earn a more lucrative deal next offseason. This represents exactly the type of low-risk, moderate-reward move that good front offices make to build roster depth without breaking the bank.

Performance Analysis

Michael Carter II earns an F grade as a cornerback who has struggled to maintain the level of play he showed early in his career with the Jets. His move to Philadelphia was supposed to provide a fresh start, but the coverage inconsistencies have followed him. Carter's slot corner skills were once his calling card, but the technique has regressed to the point where he's not earning snaps even in sub packages. The Eagles' defensive backfield has better options, which pushes Carter further down the depth chart. He's fighting to stay relevant on a roster that has moved past him.
