Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

Troy Reeder's one-year, $1.2M deal earns a C CVI — a fair market transaction for what amounts to depth insurance at linebacker. At just over the veteran minimum, this contract properly values a player who profiles as a depth piece rather than a weekly starter, making it neither a steal nor an overpay in today's inflated market. The single-year structure is smart risk management for both sides, allowing Reeder to rebuild his value while giving his next team flexibility without long-term commitment to a replacement-level contributor. While $1.2M AAV won't move the needle for any franchise's salary cap, it represents appropriate compensation for a veteran who can step in during injuries but shouldn't be counted on as a core defensive piece. This is textbook depth signing economics — pay modestly for proven NFL experience and hope you never actually need to rely on it heavily.

Performance Analysis

Troy Reeder's F grade as a free agent marks the end of a career defined by being in the right place at the right time. Reeder became a starter by default during the Rams' Super Bowl run and was a fan-favorite despite his limitations. His F grade as a free agent reflects a player whose production was never good enough to sustain a long career once the circumstances changed. Reeder's tackling and run defense were adequate, but his coverage and athleticism were consistently exposed at the NFL level. He's a great story — an undrafted player who played in a Super Bowl — but the on-field product has reached its limit. Reeder's NFL career appears to have concluded.
