Cast your verdict:
A low-risk depth signing with modest upside as a versatile defensive back and returner. Five headlines covered the move, noting his Bills and Jets experience and former All-Rookie Team recognition. His return specialist ability is the strongest selling point for Houston's special teams. Fans are mildly curious given the Bills' All-Rookie nod, but expectations remain grounded. Codrington projects as a camp competitor who needs a strong preseason to earn a roster spot.
This signing grades out as a significant overpay for the Houston Texans — the team is paying more than the on-field production currently warrants. Brandon's on-field performance ranks in the bottom quartile among NFL CBs, grading him as an unproven at the position. His $1.1M average annual value ranks as bargain money for the CB 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. Brandon is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract.
