Henry Byrd

Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

The Vikings secured solid value with Henry Byrd's two-year, $1.8M deal, earning a C+ CVI that reflects a fair market transaction for depth guard production. At $900K annually, Minnesota is paying appropriate backup money for a player who provides competent interior line depth without breaking the salary structure. The short-term commitment works in both directions — Byrd gets guaranteed playing time opportunities while the Vikings maintain roster flexibility without being locked into a lengthy deal for a middling starter. This contract represents smart cap management for a team that needs reliable depth pieces along the offensive line, as guard is one position where you can find adequate production without premium investment. The C+ CVI reflects exactly what this signing should be: an unsexy but necessary move that fills a roster need at market rate without creating future complications.
