Contract Value Index (CVI)
This signing grades out as a slight overpay for the Minnesota Vikings — the team is getting approximately what they're paying for in on-field production. Eric's on-field performance ranks in the lower half among NFL UNKs, grading him as a rotational player at the position. His $7.5M average annual value ranks as below-market money for the UNK market. The production lines up closely with the price tag — rotational player production at below-market money, which is essentially paying fair market value. Eric is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract. The 3-year, $22.5M contract with $12.5M guaranteed (56%) represents a moderate investment with room to exit if needed.
