Nadame Tucker

Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

This signing grades out as a slight overpay for the Los Angeles Chargers — the team is getting approximately what they're paying for in on-field production. Nadame's on-field performance ranks in the bottom quartile among NFL LBs, grading him as an unproven at the position. His $1.0M average annual value ranks as bargain money for the LB market. The production lines up closely with the price tag — unproven production at bargain money, which is essentially paying fair market value. Nadame is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract. The 3-year, $3.1M contract represents a significant commitment with heavy guarantees.
