Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

The Dolphins secured a solid value play in Tutu Atwell at $1.4M AAV, earning a B- CVI that reflects smart roster building at the margins. While Atwell profiles as a depth piece rather than a featured weapon, Miami is paying appropriate slot receiver money for a player who brings legitimate NFL speed and has shown flashes of productivity when healthy. At 25, he's entering what should be his prime years, and the modest one-year commitment with $1.3M guaranteed gives the team flexibility while allowing Atwell to bet on himself in a new system. The contract structure is essentially risk-free for Miami — they're not overpaying for upside, but they're also not getting a steal on a proven commodity. This feels like the type of low-cost, high-upside depth signing that championship teams make, where the floor is a competent special teams contributor and the ceiling is a useful slot weapon who can stretch the field when called upon.

Performance Analysis

Tutu Atwell grades as a depth piece among NFL wide receivers — a below-average player at the position. His strongest area is yards per reception at 32.0 (well above the NFL average of 12.7), ranking as elite for the position. Receiving yards per game, at 19.2 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.

Fan Sentiment

Miami adds a speed weapon in a low-risk, high-upside depth signing. Five headlines covered the move, noting his Super Bowl pedigree as a key talking point. Atwell's blazing speed and championship experience signal real developmental upside for a receiver-hungry offense. Fans are intrigued by the name but skeptical given his inconsistent production in Los Angeles. If healthy, Atwell could carve out a gadget role, but roster security remains uncertain heading into camp.
