At $1.315M AAV on a one-year deal, Elijah Moore earns a C Contract Value Index (CVI) — a grade that reflects the disconnect between his modest production and what Philadelphia is actually paying for: low-risk depth insurance with a locker room upside the raw numbers don't capture. In the 2025 season, Moore managed 112 receiving yards across nine games, output that sits firmly in the below-average range for a former second-round pick entering his fifth year in the league. That said, at $1.315M, this contract sits well below standard market rate for even a rotational receiver, which is precisely why the CVI doesn't sink further — the Eagles are paying bargain-bin money for a player with genuine NFL pedigree. Moore was a pick 34 selection in 2021, and at 25 years old he still theoretically has the athletic tools that made him a Day 2 investment, even if the on-field output has never consistently matched that billing. The media framing here is accurate and the CVI reflects it: this is a smart, low-risk depth move, not a scheme-changing acquisition, and Philadelphia's front office deserves credit for structuring it as a one-year prove-it deal rather than committing long-term to a player whose production has stalled. The one-year structure is the saving grace — there's no dead-cap exposure if Moore doesn't carve out a consistent role, and the Eagles maintain full flexibility heading into next offseason.
Other same-position deals the Contract Value Index also places in the C band — a quick read on where Elijah's contract sits relative to comparable money.
Elijah Moore's on-field production earns a C performance grade against WR peers across the league. The 2025 season saw Moore accumulate 112 receiving yards across 9 games, a production profile that reflects limited offensive touches and a marginal role in Philadelphia's passing attack—hardly the output you'd expect from a former second-round pick. While those counting stats alone don't tell the full story, they underscore the reality that Moore has not yet established himself as a consistent, high-volume contributor at the position. At 25 years old and five seasons into his NFL career, Moore's current-season workload points to a rotational depth role rather than the expanded opportunity that typically accompanies a free agent signing during the offseason. The Eagles' framing of this acquisition emphasizes the personal connection to A.J. Brown and the low-risk, one-year structure—positioning Moore as a depth gamble on talent rather than an immediate starter or featured piece of the passing game. That aligns with the C-grade verdict: Moore has NFL experience and familiarity with Philadelphia's system through his friendship with Brown, but the on-field evidence so far suggests he remains a backup-level option competing for limited snaps in the slot.
Elijah Moore ranks 152nd of 295 graded wide receivers by performance. That slots Elijah between Kaden Davis (C) just ahead and Jared Wayne (C) just behind.

Jared WayneHouston TexansThe Eagles' acquisition of Elijah Moore has generated cautiously optimistic coverage, earning a B- sentiment grade from fans and media analysts. Multiple reports emphasize the "low-risk, high-reward" nature of this depth signing, with the one-year structure providing Philadelphia financial flexibility while giving the former second-round pick an opportunity to rebuild his value. Media outlets have particularly highlighted Moore's personal friendship with A.J. Brown as a potential chemistry catalyst that could unlock the receiver's upside in the Eagles' system. Coverage frames Moore as a solid depth addition who brings proven NFL experience to bolster Philadelphia's passing attack, with most analysts viewing him as a reliable slot option who could compete for an expanded role. The consensus suggests this move represents smart roster building rather than a blockbuster addition, with the media portraying it as a sensible gamble on talent with minimal downside risk.
