Grade Los Angeles Chargers sign Myles Purchase
Your grade joins the crowd-sourced Fan Verdict.
Chargers add a depth safety in a routine roster move with minimal impact. Multiple outlets covered this as part of broader transaction announcements without fanfare. Purchase represents a practice squad-caliber signing, likely competing for reserve roles. Fans largely ignored this move, focusing instead on more significant roster construction. Expect Purchase to battle for depth snaps unless injuries create opportunity.
Myles Purchase's signing earns a B Contract Value Index (CVI)—a solid value move for a roster filling depth needs without overcommitting resources. At $885K annually, this is a sub-minimum-salary agreement that carries minimal financial risk and zero cap strain for Los Angeles, making it the kind of transaction that doesn't move the needle but also doesn't hurt. The Chargers are currently sitting at 11-6 and fighting for playoff positioning in the AFC West, and adding depth on a prove-it deal aligns with roster maintenance during a critical stretch. Without disclosed contract length or production history in the data provided, the value hinges entirely on Purchase's ability to contribute on special teams or as a rotation piece—the CVI reflects a favorable risk-reward profile for an organization that can afford to take developmental flyers at this price point. This is the definition of low-stakes roster chess: the Chargers get an affordable audition, and Purchase gets a chance to stick in the NFL on terms that won't handcuff either side if it doesn't work out.
