Contract Value Index (CVI)
This trade grades out as about market rate for the Detroit Lions — the team is getting approximately what they're paying for in on-field production. Juice's on-field performance ranks in the bottom third among NFL OLs, grading him as a depth piece at the position. His $1.5M average annual value ranks as bargain money for the OL market. The production-to-cost ratio is favorable — depth piece output at a bargain price point represents solid asset management. Juice is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract. The 4-year, $6.1M contract with $3.2M guaranteed (53%) represents a moderate investment with room to exit if needed.
