Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

The Saints secured solid value with Kendre Miller's four-year, $5.7M extension, earning a B CVI that reflects smart team-building around a developing asset. Miller's depth piece production tier aligns well with his $1.4M AAV, positioning him as an affordable complement to New Orleans' backfield rotation without breaking the bank on unproven upside. At just 22 years old, the former TCU standout has plenty of runway to grow into a more prominent role, making this deal particularly shrewd given running backs' typical early-career development curve. The contract structure heavily favors the Saints with only $1.1M guaranteed, creating minimal financial risk while locking up a young player through his prime physical years. This represents exactly the type of cost-controlled depth signing that championship teams execute — Miller provides insurance and competition at a premium position while the Saints maintain flexibility to either develop him into a featured back or move on without significant cap consequences.

Performance Analysis

Kendre Miller earns an F grade as a running back whose Saints career has been defined more by injury than production. The former third-round pick was supposed to be part of New Orleans' backfield future, but recurring knee issues have prevented him from ever establishing himself. When healthy, Miller has shown the explosiveness and receiving ability that made him a coveted prospect, but those windows have been frustratingly brief. The Saints need to see him on the field consistently before they can evaluate whether he's a long-term piece. His talent isn't in question — his availability is the entire concern.
