A below-average re-signing of a replacement-level kicker who never solidified the starting job. Multiple headlines confirm Arizona re-signed Ryland, though the team wasn't even expected to tender him. The biggest red flag: Ryland missed a 50-yard field goal in a game where reliability mattered most. Fans are frustrated Arizona didn't upgrade at kicker, a consistent weak spot on the roster. Ryland will likely face training camp competition and could easily lose the job before Week 1.

This signing grades out as about market rate for the Arizona Cardinals — the team is getting approximately what they're paying for in on-field production. Chad's on-field performance ranks in the bottom third among NFL Ks, grading him as a depth piece at the position. His $1.9M average annual value ranks as bargain money for the K market. The production-to-cost ratio is favorable — depth piece output at a bargain price point represents solid asset management. Chad is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract.
