Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

This Brittain Brown signing earns a D+ CVI, representing a slight overpay for what amounts to a depth roster move. The Bears are paying $1.1M AAV for a rotational player who hasn't established himself as anything more than a backup option in the NFL's deepest position. While the financial commitment is modest in absolute terms, Brown's limited track record doesn't justify even this minimal investment when comparable or superior talent typically comes cheaper in free agency or late-round draft picks. The short-term nature likely limits long-term damage, but Chicago could have allocated this roster spot and salary cap space more efficiently. For a team still building its identity under new leadership, spending on unproven depth pieces like Brown reflects questionable resource allocation that won't meaningfully impact their competitive trajectory.

Performance Analysis

Brittain Brown grades as a rotational player among NFL running backs — a middle-of-the-pack player at the position. His strongest area is yards per carry at 7.40 (well above the NFL average of 4.10), ranking as elite for the position. Rushing yards per game, at 12.3 compared to an NFL average of 55.0, is where he falls short relative to the position. He is efficient when he touches the ball, but a limited workload keeps his overall numbers down. Limited games played (3 career) reduces confidence in this grade.

Fan Sentiment

A low-risk, depth-driven signing with minimal long-term upside for Chicago. Headlines highlight Brown's TD performance and practice squad elevation after Travis Homer's departure. His one-yard scoring plunge signals situational value, not featured-back potential. Fans are cautiously optimistic given his energetic play in a surprise Eagles win. Brown projects as a rotational back unless injuries force a larger role.
