Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

Los Angeles Rams got a A- Contract Value Index out of the Myles Garrett signing because the guaranteed money matches the production tier. At $40M AAV over four years, Garrett's deal reflects his elite defensive pedigree—a 2025 season that produced 23 sacks across 17 games and a Defensive Player of the Year award followed by AP All-Pro 1st Team selection justifies top-tier pass rusher compensation in today's market. The contract structures Garrett as a franchise cornerstone at a position where elite production commands premium dollars, and his established-veteran status at age 30 positions him as an immediate impact piece rather than a long-term developmental investment. Media framing around the trade emphasizes this as a win-now move pairing him with existing defensive talent, underscoring the Rams' championship-window urgency and confidence in his ability to anchor a defensive line transformation. The A+ sentiment grade perfectly aligns with his A+ performance grade—a rare consensus that reflects not just statistical dominance but league-wide recognition of his standing as one of football's premier defensive forces entering 2026. At four years, the deal carries manageable term risk for a 30-year-old on a team positioned in the NFC playoff race, making the CVI grade a fair reflection of value in the current pass rusher market.

Performance Analysis

Myles Garrett remains one of the NFL's most dominant edge defenders at age 30, commanding respect across nine seasons and 134 games with the Los Angeles Rams. The nine-year veteran delivers an A+ performance grade this season, cementing his status among the league's elite pass rushers despite entering his fourth decade. His combination of athleticism, motor, and refined technique continues to terrorize offensive lines at a level few defenders achieve. Garrett's 2025 campaign showcases elite productivity across every relevant metric. He's posting 1.35 sacks per game—more than double the NFL average of 0.19 and well above the elite benchmark of 0.66—while recording 2.29 QB hits per game against an average of 0.43. His 0.88 tackles for loss per game similarly dominates the 0.27 NFL average, demonstrating consistent disruptive presence regardless of play type. The primary concern centers on durability and whether he can sustain this relentless output as he navigates his early 30s, a typical inflection point for edge rushers. Garrett's trajectory from an A grade in both 2023 and 2024 to his current A+ reflects sustained excellence rather than decline, positioning him as a perennial championship-level contributor. Moving forward, watch whether the Rams can leverage his peak years into postseason success while monitoring his snap count management and injury resilience through the remainder of his contract. At this stage of his career, Garrett represents proven, championship-caliber edge defense in an era where elite pass rush remains invaluable currency.
