Based on media coverage and fan discussion

Contract Value Analysis

The Contract Value Index rates this as an overpay with a CVI ratio of 0.90. Kenny projects at low production (14/100) for the QB position. The salary is well below the QB market rate (20/100), contributing to the value profile. At 95/100 on the age-prime scale, Kenny is in or near his prime years. The 1-year term represents a short-term commitment that limits risk with a heavily guaranteed deal that limits team flexibility.
