Spencer Anderson

Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

Spencer Anderson's four-year, $3.9M deal with Pittsburgh earns a C CVI — a fair market deal for an unproven guard with minimal financial commitment from either side. At $1.0M per year, the Steelers are paying replacement-level money for what amounts to a developmental flyer on a player who hasn't established himself as a reliable NFL starter. The contract structure heavily favors Pittsburgh with just $100,000 guaranteed, giving them an easy out if Anderson doesn't develop while providing him a legitimate four-year runway to prove he belongs. This is textbook roster building in the trenches — low-risk, low-reward depth acquisition that won't move the needle but also won't hurt the salary cap if it doesn't work out. Anderson gets job security and a chance to compete for meaningful snaps, while the Steelers add affordable interior line depth without any significant financial exposure beyond year one.

Performance Analysis

Spencer Anderson's F grade in Pittsburgh is a rough assessment for a guard who has been unable to establish himself on the Steelers' offensive line. The young interior lineman has struggled when given opportunities, and the F grade reflects a player who isn't performing at an acceptable NFL level. Pittsburgh's offensive line has had its share of issues, and Anderson has been part of the problem rather than the solution. His technique and strength at the point of attack both need significant improvement. The Steelers will likely look for upgrades at guard if Anderson can't show dramatic improvement. He's a developmental player who hasn't shown enough development.
