Contract Value Index (CVI)
The Cowboys landed solid value with Nick Leverett's $1.2M deal, securing dependable interior line depth at a bargain-basement price that earns a B- CVI. While Leverett profiles as a depth piece rather than a difference-maker, his proven ability to step in and provide competent guard play makes this modest investment a smart hedge against injury. At just over the veteran minimum, Dallas is paying appropriate market rate for a player who can capably fill in without being a liability — exactly what you want from your sixth or seventh offensive lineman. The one-year structure keeps the Cowboys flexible while giving Leverett a chance to potentially earn a bigger role or contract down the line. This represents textbook roster construction: identifying a serviceable veteran who can contribute when called upon without breaking the bank or creating long-term salary cap complications.
Performance Analysis
Nick Leverett earns an F grade as a guard who has struggled to maintain a consistent starting role. His move to Dallas from Tampa Bay hasn't produced the improvement either side was hoping for. The Cowboys' offensive line needs better play from its interior, and Leverett hasn't been able to provide it at the required level. His versatility to play multiple positions was supposed to be an asset, but the lack of dominance at any single spot has worked against him. The grade reflects a player who has been given opportunities without capitalizing on them.
