Buffalo Bills sign Gs De'Metrius Weatherspoon

The signing of De'Metrius Weatherspoon earns a C+ Contract Value Index (CVI), a middle-of-the-road grade that reflects the modest upside of a low-cost depth addition without a clear path to meaningful production. At the guard position, Weatherspoon profiles as a roster-filler type — the kind of signing that quietly fills out a 53-man roster rather than addresses a competitive need at a premium level. The contract itself is structured conservatively, carrying a $1M AAV across three years and a $3.1M total value, which keeps the dead-cap exposure minimal and the financial risk essentially negligible for Buffalo's front office. At that price point, the Bills are not betting on a starter — they're buying optionality and camp competition, which is a reasonable front-office posture this deep in the offseason with the regular season still four months out. The CVI settles into the C+ range because the deal is financially responsible but the production ceiling at this tier of investment is inherently limited, making it difficult to grade meaningfully higher without evidence of a defined role. If Weatherspoon develops into a serviceable swing lineman, this looks like smart depth management; if he's cut before Week 1, the cap hit is inconsequential. The Bills absorb essentially no downside here, but they're also not moving the needle on roster quality with this move.
