Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

The Vikings secured solid value by locking up Tai Felton at $1.5M AAV over four years, earning a B CVI that reflects smart roster building around the margins. While Felton projects as a depth piece rather than a featured target, Minnesota is paying appropriately for a reliable fourth or fifth receiver who can contribute on special teams and step up when injuries hit. At 24 years old, Felton has room to develop within this contract window, and the modest $1.1M in guaranteed money limits downside risk if he doesn't progress as expected. The four-year term gives the Vikings cost certainty for a player who should provide steady, if unspectacular, production in a complementary role. This represents the type of disciplined contract that helps teams maintain depth without breaking the salary cap — exactly what Minnesota needs as they manage bigger investments at premium positions.

Performance Analysis

Tai Felton's F grade with the Vikings is a rough start for a rookie receiver adjusting to the NFL. The young wideout showed productivity in college, but the transition to professional football has exposed gaps in his game. His F grade reflects minimal production in a Minnesota passing attack that already has established options. Felton's route-running and separation ability need improvement to compete for targets against more polished receivers. The Vikings' deep receiver room makes it especially difficult for a developmental player to earn opportunities. Felton is a long-term project who needs a strong offseason to prove he belongs on an NFL roster.
