Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

This Keaontay Ingram deal earns a **B- CVI** and represents solid value for Kansas City, securing a proven depth piece at basement pricing. At just $1.0M for one year, the Chiefs are essentially getting NFL-caliber insurance behind their established backfield at the league minimum, making this a low-risk flier with legitimate upside. Ingram has shown he can contribute when called upon, and depth pieces who can step in without missing a beat are worth their weight in gold during the grind of an NFL season. The one-year structure gives Kansas City maximum flexibility while allowing Ingram to bet on himself and potentially earn a more lucrative deal if he flashes in Andy Reid's offense. For a team with Super Bowl aspirations, locking down reliable depth at this price point is exactly the type of shrewd roster management that championship teams execute, even if Ingram isn't going to move the needle as a featured back.

Performance Analysis

Keaontay Ingram earns an F grade as a running back who has been a marginal contributor across his NFL career. The Chiefs' backfield has been competitive, and Ingram hasn't been able to separate from the pack of backs competing for the final roster spots. His college production at USC and Texas suggested a more prominent role, but the transition to the NFL's speed and physicality has been challenging. Kansas City's offense doesn't need its running backs to be stars, but they need to be reliable, and Ingram hasn't consistently demonstrated that. He's a camp body fighting for a practice squad spot.
