Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

This signing grades out as a significant overpay for the New York Giants — the team is paying more than the on-field production currently warrants. Xavier's on-field performance ranks in the bottom quartile among NFL WRs, grading him as an unproven at the position. His $1.1M average annual value ranks as bargain money for the WR market. The concern here is the gap between production and cost — unproven output at bargain money means the team is paying a premium above the player's on-field value. Xavier 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

Xavier Gipson's F grade with the Giants reflects a receiver/returner who has been unable to make an impact in the passing game. Gipson earned some attention with a dramatic punt return touchdown in his career, but the receiving production has been virtually nonexistent. His F grade captures a player who is a one-dimensional return specialist without the route-running or separation to earn targets. New York's receiver room has moved past him, and Gipson is holding on through return value alone. His NFL career depends on special teams contributions, and even those have been inconsistent.

Fan Sentiment

A low-risk, low-reward waiver claim on a returner who just fumbled away a Jets game. Headlines highlight the irony of Gipson landing with a crosstown rival immediately after his costly mistake. The key red flag: he was quickly moved on from by the Giants, suggesting he never stuck. Fans debated whether the Giants were opportunistic or simply desperate at returner. Gipson projects as a fringe roster contributor who must prove he can hold onto the football.
