T.j. Bass

Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

The Cowboys secured decent value with T.J. Bass at $5.8M AAV, earning a C+ CVI that reflects a fair market deal for interior line depth. While Bass slots in as a solid starter-caliber guard, this one-year contract carries minimal risk for a player who provides reliable but unspectacular production in Dallas's offensive line rotation. The short-term structure works perfectly for both sides — the Cowboys get immediate help without a long-term commitment, while Bass can prove he deserves a more lucrative multi-year deal next offseason. At just under $6M annually, Dallas isn't breaking the bank for a guard who won't move the needle dramatically but should hold down his assignment competently. This represents smart roster management rather than a splash signing, giving the Cowboys affordable stability on the interior while keeping future flexibility intact.
