This signing grades out as a solid deal for the Las Vegas Raiders — the team is getting significantly more on-field production than what they're paying for. Tyler's on-field performance ranks in the top 20% among NFL Cs, grading him as a Pro Bowl-caliber at the position. His $27.0M average annual value ranks as below-market money for the C market. The value equation works strongly in the team's favor — they're getting Pro Bowl-caliber production at below-market cost, which is the kind of financial efficiency that builds roster depth. Tyler 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, $81.0M contract with $81.0M guaranteed (100%) represents a significant commitment with heavy guarantees.
