Contract Value

Poor contract value
OverpayFair ValueGreat Value
The Philadelphia Eagles have been paying a premium this season, with several contracts that outpace the expected production level. Across 56 contracts, 8 grade out as good value and 4 look like overpays based on comparable deals around the league. The best bang-for-the-buck deal was Jonathan Jones (B+) at $2.0M/yr — getting cornerback production well above the price point. The priciest commitment relative to production was J.T. Gray (D) at $1.5M/yr — the safety market may have been richer than the on-field return suggests. Cap flexibility could become a concern if these contracts don't produce at the expected level.

About this general manager
Howie Roseman is the general manager of the Philadelphia Eagles, in his 16th year as the lead executive. FanVerdicts covers every NFL GM and the full body of moves they've made — and asks fans to render the verdict. Cast your Fan Verdict on Howie Roseman, see where the crowd lands, and argue the call. FanVerdicts brings its own read too — the contract value of the deals they signed, the performance of the players they assembled, and the sentiment around recent moves — as one honest input alongside the crowd's. Where FanVerdicts has weighed in so far: Contract Value Index F, Performance C, Sentiment F, Fan Verdict F.
Each GM grade is rolled up from the underlying transactions attributed to that GM's tenure. When a GM signs a player, that signing's Contract Value Index grade flows into the GM's portfolio score; the same player's subsequent performance and sentiment grades flow into the GM's respective summaries. Phased attribution applies for new GMs: the first three years weight the prior GM's legacy deals at 100%/66%/33%, ramping the new GM's ownership of roster outcomes.
For broader context, the NFL hub has team rankings, GM report cards, and the transactions feed. The NFL GM rankings page ranks every front office side-by-side on the same four dimensions.
