Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

Among WR contracts at this AAV tier, Phillip Dorsett II grades a C- Contract Value Index. At $1.3M AAV on a one-year deal, the contract itself is negligible—this is depth-piece pricing, and the CVI reflects the disconnect between what he's being paid (essentially replacement-level compensation) and what he's actually delivering on the field. Through the 2025 season, Dorsett appeared in one game, a limited sample that tracks with his C- performance grade and underscores why the Raiders are treating him as camp competition rather than a solution. At 33 years old with 10 seasons logged, Dorsett is operating as an established veteran on the downslope—his Super Bowl pedigree and professional experience still hold some value in a locker room, but the calculus here is straightforward: minimal organizational investment for minimal expected return. The media narrative is unambiguous: Dorsett is fringe-roster fodder in a receiver room depleted by departures, positioned alongside other depth signings and futures contracts as the Raiders cycle through bodies rather than build around proven talent. On a one-year pact with no guaranteed dollars and no long-term cap commitment, there's no risk to Las Vegas, which is precisely the point—this is a low-cost evaluation that costs nothing to walk away from, and the CVI grade reflects the reality that you get what you pay for.

Performance Analysis

Phillip Dorsett II's tape and counting stats together earn a C- performance grade. At 33 years old with ten seasons of NFL experience, Dorsett occupies the replacement-level tier at receiver—a depth contributor whose on-field production no longer justifies a featured role on a competitive roster. The 2025 season shows minimal opportunity, with just one game on his ledger, underscoring both his limited snap share and the organization's lack of faith in deploying him as a meaningful option. His established veteran profile offers some residual value as a camp body and potential trade depth, but durability concerns and the natural decline associated with his age have eroded what was once a promising career arc. The Raiders' recent signings of wideouts like Brandon Johnson alongside Dorsett's futures contract framing tells the full story: this is organizational depth-building, not a roster solution. Media and fan sentiment correctly identify him as facing long odds to crack the final 53-man roster, a far cry from the first-round pedigree and past Pro Bowl appearance that once defined his career trajectory.

How Phillip Compares at the Position

Phillip Dorsett Ii ranks 175th of 295 graded wide receivers by performance. That slots Phillip between Laquon Treadwell (C-) just ahead and Casey Washington (C-) just behind.

Fan Sentiment

Recent headlines push Phillip Dorsett II's sentiment grade to an A, with Las Vegas's broader season shaping the read. The narrative around the 33-year-old veteran is decidedly muted—he's been framed as a depth receiver and camp body, part of a 12-player futures contract batch that signals minimal organizational investment rather than a roster solution at the position. Media outlets have emphasized his replacement-level status in the wake of losing elite talent like Amari Cooper, positioning Dorsett as a cautionary tale about a former first-round pick's fall from promise to fringe candidacy. His C- performance grade sits in stark contrast to the A sentiment, reflecting the gap between what analysts see as marginal on-field utility and what the market—or at least this signing—suggests about his current standing; at 10 seasons in, Dorsett is fighting long odds to even crack the 53-man roster. Recent team moves, including the signings of Brandon Johnson at receiver and the revolving-door cuts at depth positions, underscore that the Raiders view Dorsett as interchangeable rather than foundational. The bottom line: this is optimistic grading on a depth piece with minimal upside, acknowledging veteran experience and Super Bowl pedigree while the broader media consensus treats him as a low-risk, low-reward camp competition, not a meaningful upgrade.
