J.T. Gray's one-year, $1.49M signing earns a D Contract Value Index (CVI), a deal that reflects the Eagles' modest investment in a depth safety on a prove-it contract during the offseason. At this price point, the CVI grade signals a below-market or restricted-value arrangement—the kind of low-cost, low-commitment signing that NFL teams use to patch roster gaps without meaningful cap consequence. Philadelphia is committing minimal guaranteed money to a player operating in a replacement-level to solid-backup tier, which limits downside risk but also caps ceiling potential; there's no long-term financial obligation or guaranteed upside embedded in the structure. The one-year term reinforces the transactional nature: this is a camp body or emergency depth piece, not a building block, and the Eagles retain maximum flexibility to move on or renegotiate if performance doesn't materialize. For a franchise currently holding the NFC East's third seed, this signing represents efficient offseason housekeeping—filling roster depth at a price that won't pinch cap flexibility heading into the regular season in 91 days.
