Philadelphia Eagles sign Chandler Martin

At $1.06M AAV over two years, this signing lands in fair-deal territory — a modest, low-risk roster move that carries essentially no cap baggage for Philadelphia. Chandler Martin earns a C+ Contract Value Index (CVI), which reflects the practical reality of a depth-level contract: the Eagles aren't paying for upside, they're paying for a body with a known profile at a price that won't constrain anything meaningful. Without positional clarity in the data, it's difficult to project exactly where Martin fits in the defensive or offensive architecture, but at this salary floor, the Eagles are essentially buying a camp competitor and potential practice-squad asset rather than a projected contributor. The two-year structure is smart roster management — it buys the organization a longer evaluation window without meaningful financial exposure, and the total outlay of $2.13M is the kind of number that evaporates into the cap without a second thought. The CVI holding steady at C+ signals this is precisely what it looks like: a transactionally appropriate deal for a replacement-level or fringe roster player, neither a steal nor a mistake. With the regular season still 97 days out, the Eagles have time to let Martin compete and either earn a role or move on without consequence.
