Time Kennan III

Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

Time Kennan III delivered the kind of production that earns a C+ Contract Value Index relative to the DT pay band. At $1.13M AAV across a four-year deal, this represents a low-cost depth commitment typical of late-round prospect signings—the contract carries minimal cap burden and poses no dead-cap risk if the Rams need to move on during training camp or the preseason. The C+ grade reflects realistic positional market value for a seventh-round defensive tackle prospect competing for rotational snaps rather than immediate starter reps; he's neither overpaid nor a steal, just competently priced for what the organization expects: a depth rotation piece fighting to earn meaningful playing time. The Rams' recent moves—trading significant draft capital for established pass-rush talent and cutting previous depth options—signal a front-office pivot toward proven, star-level edge production, which inadvertently positions Kennan as organizational fill-in behind that star acquisition rather than a centerpiece of the defensive line rebuild. His Alabama pedigree and reunion with a former teammate offer organizational fit flavor, but the contract itself contains no escalators or guaranteed years that would force the team's hand if he doesn't win his positional battle in camp. The CVI verdict is straightforward: this is sound, conservative depth construction at a price the Rams can absorb without leverage risk—exactly the kind of low-cost gamble a competing playoff team makes when it's chasing proven talent at premium positions.
