Fair Value
OverpayFair ValueGreat Value
Aaron Brewer's three-year, $21M deal ($7M AAV) earns a C+ Contract Value Index (CVI)—a middling valuation that reflects solid positional value hampered by modest leverage and timing. The signing of an above-average starting center during the offseason makes structural sense for Miami's offensive line, but the CVI grade signals this is neither a steal nor a premium commitment; $7M annually sits squarely in the mid-tier range for the position, appropriate for a capable veteran rather than an elite, franchise-caliber lineman. The Dolphins are locking in stability at center on a reasonable salary curve, which carries no red flags from a cap-management perspective, though it also offers limited upside if Brewer's performance trajectory declines over the three-year window. Given Miami's 7-10 record and current AFC East standing, this move appears to be a foundational retention rather than a win-now splash—the kind of bridge contract that addresses a positional need without mortgaging future flexibility. The C+ CVI reflects a fair deal: not an overpay, not a bargain, but a pragmatic investment in roster continuity heading into the regular season.
