BALLADEX

Almost every salary here is modeled. Salaries marked real are reported figures; the rest are modeled from the CBA's structure and labeled as estimates. How this works.

CONTRACT VALUE BOARD · 2026-27

Who’s worth their money?

Every rostered player’s salary graded against his projected on-field value — the league’s biggest steals, worst overpays, and which front offices are getting the most for their money. Every salary here is modeled from the CBA’s structure rather than reported, and measures roughly 1.8x off per player — far enough to invert a verdict. The position rank is the sounder number.

Salaries: modeled for all 1922 rostered players — this repository holds no NFL contract data, so each figure comes from the CBA’s slotted rookie scale, fifth-year options and veteran minimums · worth from the Balladex projection engine (per-game production by position, aging curve, games played) · refreshes with new data. Grades are an analytical model, not the team’s books.

By team

32 teams. Totals are the top 25 cap hits per team, which is a documented cut rather than a claim about the full roster — follow a team for every player it carries.
