Contract Value Index (CVI)
C+
Fair Value
OverpayFair ValueGreat Value
This signing grades out as a slight overpay for the Cleveland Browns — the team is getting approximately what they're paying for in on-field production. Logan's on-field performance ranks in the bottom quartile among NFL DEs, grading him as an unproven at the position. His $1.0M average annual value ranks as bargain money for the DE market. The production lines up closely with the price tag — unproven production at bargain money, which is essentially paying fair market value. Logan 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, $3.1M contract with $310K guaranteed (10%) represents a moderate investment with room to exit if needed.
