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 is a nine-year NFL veteran and reliable depth receiver for Las Vegas, operating as a complementary option in the Raiders' pass-catching rotation. At 33 years old with 94 career games under his belt, he represents the journeyman archetype—a player whose longevity speaks to professional consistency even if ceiling limitations have prevented star status. Currently graded as a C-minus performer, Dorsett occupies the lower-middle tier of available wideouts, a role befitting his age and experience level in year nine. His receiving production remains pedestrian across most efficiency metrics. Dorsett averages 12.8 yards per reception, marginally above the NFL average of 12.13, yet his touchdown efficiency sits well below league standard at 0.07 per game versus the 0.18 benchmark for qualified receivers. Per-game receiving yardage of 17.1 trails the NFL average of 18.39, suggesting limited volume and upside in Las Vegas's offensive scheme. These numbers indicate a slot or reserve contributor rather than a featured target, with modest catch-radius and red-zone involvement. The concerning trend appears evident in his recent season grades, dropping from a D-minus in 2023 through an F in 2024 before recovering slightly to a D in 2025. At this career stage, Dorsett likely functions best in a limited role—perhaps ten to fifteen snaps per game—where his experience and professionalism provide value without demanding heavy targets. Moving forward, he remains a camp body and special teams contributor, unlikely to recapture earlier career momentum but capable of providing depth depth stability through the remainder of his playing window.

How Phillip Compares at the Position

Phillip Dorsett Ii ranks 166th of 300 graded wide receivers by performance. That slots Phillip between Efton Chism III (C-) just ahead and Trey Palmer (C-) just behind.

Fan Sentiment

Raiders add depth at receiver through a futures contract signing. Media coverage emphasizes this as part of Las Vegas's 2026 offseason camp body acquisitions. Dorsett's journeyman career and practice squad trajectory signal a low-risk, replaceable contributor role. Fans view this as typical organizational housekeeping rather than a meaningful roster improvement. Dorsett faces long odds of making the final 53-man roster despite the contract.
