Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

This is an exceptional value pickup that earns an A CVI, representing one of the shrewdest depth signings in recent memory. British Brooks slots in as a depth piece at running back, yet the Texans secured him for just $0.9M annually over three years — a bargain-bin price that creates massive upside potential with minimal financial exposure. The contract structure is equally impressive, with only $200K guaranteed in a $2.8M total deal, giving Houston the flexibility to cut ties without significant dead money while maintaining cost certainty through 2027. For a franchise building sustainable depth behind their featured backs, locking up a contributor at replacement-level money represents the kind of asset management that championship rosters are built on. This deal exemplifies how smart organizations extract maximum value from the margins, turning depth chart insurance into a potential competitive advantage without any meaningful salary cap burden.

Performance Analysis

British Brooks earns a D- for the Texans at running back, a depth back who has not shown enough to earn significant carries in Houston's offense. Brooks has some physicality between the tackles, but his vision and decisiveness are not at the level needed to be a factor in an NFL backfield. The Texans have better options at running back, and Brooks is at the bottom of the rotation. His special teams contributions have been his primary path to a roster spot. Houston is built to compete right now, and Brooks is not a player who is moving the needle in any meaningful direction.
