Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

This signing grades out as a slight overpay for the Indianapolis Colts — the team is getting approximately what they're paying for in on-field production. Spencer's on-field performance ranks in the bottom quartile among NFL PKs, grading him as an unproven at the position. His $1.3M average annual value ranks as bargain money for the PK market. The production lines up closely with the price tag — unproven production at bargain money, which is essentially paying fair market value. Spencer is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract. The 2-year, $2.5M deal ($750K guaranteed, 30%) keeps the commitment short, giving the team financial flexibility to move on if performance drops.

Performance Analysis

Spencer Shrader grades as an above-average starter among NFL pks — an above-average player at the position. His strongest area is field goal accuracy at 92.9% (well above the NFL average of 85.0%), ranking as well above average for the position. Limited games played (2 career) reduces confidence in this grade.
