Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

The Rams locked up solid depth at a bargain price, making Ty Hamilton's four-year, $4.6M extension ($1.2M AAV) a clear steal that earns a B CVI. Hamilton functions as a reliable depth piece along the defensive line, and securing that production for just over a million per year represents exceptional value in today's inflated market where even rotational interior linemen typically command $3-4M annually. The contract structure heavily favors Los Angeles with minimal guaranteed money ($400K), giving them maximum flexibility to move on if Hamilton's performance declines or if they find an upgrade. At this salary level, the Rams are essentially getting NFL-caliber depth for practice squad money, allowing them to allocate resources elsewhere while maintaining quality behind Aaron Donald and their other starters. This is exactly the type of shrewd roster-building move that championship contenders execute — identifying productive role players and locking them up before the market corrects upward.

Performance Analysis

Ty Hamilton's D- grade with the Rams reflects a young defensive tackle who has struggled to make an impact on the interior. Hamilton has shown some raw ability in limited action, but the consistency and technique needed to be a productive NFL interior lineman haven't been there. His D- captures a player who is on the fringe of the roster, filling a spot without providing meaningful production. Los Angeles' defensive line has depth, which limits Hamilton's opportunities to develop through game reps. His run defense has been passable, but the pass-rush is virtually nonexistent. Hamilton needs a significant developmental leap to earn a regular role.
