Contract Value Index (CVI)
This signing grades out as a slight overpay for the New Orleans Saints — the team is getting approximately what they're paying for in on-field production. Noah's on-field performance ranks in the bottom third among NFL UNKs, grading him as a depth piece at the position. His $4.4M average annual value ranks as below-market money for the UNK market. The production lines up closely with the price tag — depth piece production at below-market money, which is essentially paying fair market value. Noah is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract. The 2-year, $8.8M deal ($4.5M guaranteed, 51%) keeps the commitment short, giving the team financial flexibility to move on if performance drops.
