Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

Tanner Ingle's Contract Value Index lands at C, putting the deal in a defined slice of comparable signings. At $1.06M AAV over two years, this is a depth-piece contract that reflects neither a significant organizational bet nor a sunk cost—it's the kind of low-risk, low-floor agreement the Rams deploy for developmental safeties fighting for roster spots. His performance grade of C paired with 2025 season statistics of 2 tackles across 3 games tells the story of minimal on-field impact; Ingle has contributed zero interceptions and zero passes defended through his tenure, which the media has rightfully characterized as a blank statistical profile. At 26 and in his second year, Ingle occupies an awkward developmental stage—old enough that upside narratives wear thin, young enough that injury or poor scheme fit remain plausible explanations, though the sentiment data indicates the Rams themselves view him as a fringe roster candidate rather than an established contributor. The recent team activity—multiple signings at edge and interior defensive line alongside organizational churn at the defensive back position—suggests Los Angeles is actively retooling rather than banking on incumbent depth pieces, which further marginalizes Ingle's path to meaningful snaps. CVI reflects that reality: serviceable contract pricing for a replacement-level safety, but one whose on-field discipline issues and lack of production leave little reason for optimism that this two-year deal yields reliable contributions.

Performance Analysis

Tanner Ingle produces at a tier that grades a C performance mark for Los Angeles Rams. The 26-year-old second-year safety is operating well below the threshold of a reliable contributor, posting minimal production through his limited 2025 season opportunity—just 2 tackles across 3 games—that fails to move the needle in any meaningful way. His best available metric is simply his tackling volume, though even that minimal counting stat reflects a depth-chart role devoid of consistent snaps or opportunities to impact games. The real red flag is what Ingle *hasn't* done: zero interceptions and zero passes defended through his entire first NFL season, a career-long statistical void that screams inability to affect plays downfield where safeties must earn their paycheck. Compounding that coverage gap are discipline concerns—documented fines for illegal hits—that suggest poor tackling technique and decision-making at a position demanding precise football intelligence. As a developmental long shot in his second year, Ingle faces a steep climb just to lock down a roster spot, and unless dramatic technical and on-field improvement materializes during the offseason, he profiles as replacement-level depth fighting for survival in an increasingly crowded defensive back room.

Fan Sentiment

Tanner Ingle carries an F-grade sentiment heading into 2026, reflecting deep concerns about his NFL viability and the Rams' commitment to his development. The safety's media perception is dominated by roster instability, including waiver moves shortly after signing that signal organizational uncertainty about his role in their defensive scheme. His on-field discipline has become a liability, highlighted by fines for illegal hits that raise questions about his tackling technique and football intelligence at a position requiring precise decision-making. Despite a full year of NFL experience, Ingle has failed to record a single interception or pass defended, showing zero impact production in coverage situations where safeties are expected to contribute. The combination of disciplinary issues, lack of statistical production, and the Rams' apparent reluctance to guarantee his roster spot has created a decidedly negative narrative around a player fighting just to remain in the league. Unless he demonstrates dramatic improvement in technique and field awareness during the 2025 offseason, Ingle appears destined for replacement-level status at best.
