Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

This signing grades out as a slight overpay for the New Orleans Saints — the team is getting approximately what they're paying for in on-field production. Tyree's on-field performance ranks in the lower half among NFL DEs, grading him as a rotational player at the position. His $6.3M average annual value ranks as below-market money for the DE market. The production lines up closely with the price tag — rotational player production at below-market money, which is essentially paying fair market value. Tyree is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract.

Performance Analysis

Tyree Wilson's D grade with the Raiders is a concerning assessment for a former top-10 pick who was expected to be a cornerstone pass rusher. Wilson was a raw but physically dominant edge rusher at Texas Tech, and Las Vegas invested premium draft capital in his development. The D grade suggests the development hasn't progressed as quickly as hoped — the production has been modest and the consistency isn't there. Wilson's physical tools remain tantalizing, but the technique and pass-rush moves needed to be a premier edge rusher haven't fully developed. The Raiders need more from their top pick, and Wilson knows the expectations. Year 3 is a critical juncture for proving the pick wasn't a mistake.

Fan Sentiment

Saints land a high-upside reclamation project in a savvy draft-day steal. All five headlines confirm New Orleans acquired a former first-rounder for just a fifth-round pick. Wilson's 2023 top-10 draft pedigree is the strongest signal — elite tools at a bargain price. Fans are cautiously excited, knowing Wilson underperformed in Oakland but see massive untapped potential. If the Saints unlock his pass-rush ability, this deal will look like an absolute heist.
