Los Angeles Rams sign T David Quessenberry

David Quessenberry's extension with the Los Angeles Rams earns a C+ Contract Value Index (CVI), a middling verdict that reflects the inherent tension in paying depth-level offensive line depth in a playoff-positioned roster. At $1.49M AAV on a one-year deal, this is a replacement-level salary for a tackle — the kind of money that signals the Rams view him as a capable reserve or rotational player rather than a long-term anchor at the position. The value equation here is straightforward: Quessenberry gets security and stability heading into the regular season, while Los Angeles locks in an affordable, low-risk continuation of a known quantity on the roster. For a team sitting at 12-5 and eyeing playoff depth in the trenches, this is neither a bargain nor an overpay — it's a pragmatic offseason move that prioritizes immediate roster certainty over long-term upside. The C+ grade reflects that pragmatism: the contract is sensible, but there's no surplus value here, no hidden gem being underpaid, and no structural advantage gained. In the context of a team already in playoff position with 91 days until kickoff, this extension serves its purpose without moving the needle on the front office's overall value construction.
