Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

The Jets secured solid value by bringing in Nahshon Wright on a one-year, $3.5M deal that earns a B CVI grade. Wright represents the type of serviceable starter who can provide reliable coverage without breaking the bank, and at $3.5M AAV, the Jets are paying appropriate market rate for a player in his tier. The fully guaranteed structure removes any financial risk for New York while giving Wright motivation to prove he deserves a longer-term commitment in 2025. This short-term investment makes sense for a Jets secondary that needed depth and competency rather than star power, especially when they can evaluate Wright's fit within their defensive scheme without major financial exposure. The deal strikes the right balance between addressing an immediate need and maintaining roster flexibility, positioning the Jets to either retain Wright at a reasonable number or pivot to other options next offseason.

Performance Analysis

Nahshon Wright grades as a serviceable starter among NFL cornerbacks — a middle-of-the-pack player at the position. His strongest area is interceptions at 0.29 (well above the NFL average of 0.13), ranking as elite for the position. Passes defended, at 0.65 compared to an NFL average of 0.49, is where he falls short relative to the position. His ball-hawking ability stands out, creating turnovers at an above-average rate. His 2025 season graded as a A-, a significant jump from his C- mark in 2024.
