Contract Value Index (CVI)

The Seahawks secured excellent value by locking up Tory Horton at just $1.1M per year, earning a B+ CVI that reflects smart roster construction at the receiver position. While Horton profiles as a depth piece rather than a frontline starter, Seattle is paying bottom-tier money for a player who can contribute meaningfully in rotational packages and special teams — exactly the type of cost-effective deal that championship contenders rely on. The four-year term provides roster stability without major financial risk, especially with only $400K guaranteed upfront that limits Seattle's exposure if Horton doesn't develop as expected. At this salary level, the Seahawks need Horton to simply hold down his role as a reliable fourth or fifth receiver, and the contract structure suggests they view him as a foundational depth player rather than a short-term placeholder. This B+ CVI deal exemplifies how savvy front offices build sustainable rosters by identifying value in the middle tiers of the market, giving Seattle both immediate depth and potential upside without breaking the bank.

Performance Analysis

Tory Horton grades as a rotational player among NFL wide receivers — a below-average player at the position. His strongest area is receiving touchdowns per game at 0.63 (well above the NFL average of 0.30), ranking as elite for the position. Receiving yards per game, at 20.1 compared to an NFL average of 50.0, is where he falls short relative to the position. His high yards per catch but low volume suggests a deep-threat role with limited target share. Limited games played (8 career) reduces confidence in this grade.
