Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

The Cowboys secured solid value by signing Miles Sanders to a $1.3M prove-it deal, earning a B- CVI that reflects smart risk management for a depth piece. At just over the veteran minimum, Dallas is getting a former 1,000-yard rusher who can contribute meaningfully in a complementary role behind their primary backs, making this the type of low-risk, moderate-reward signing that championship contenders need. Sanders may not be the explosive runner he was during his Eagles peak, but his experience and pass-catching ability provide valuable insurance at running back depth—a position where injuries strike frequently and quality reserves are essential. The one-year structure gives both sides flexibility while allowing Sanders to rebuild his market value if he stays healthy and productive in spot duty. For a team with Super Bowl aspirations, locking up a reliable veteran at this price point represents exactly the kind of smart roster building that maximizes talent per dollar spent.

Performance Analysis

Miles Sanders earns an F grade as a running back whose career has taken a nosedive since his productive years in Philadelphia. The Cowboys took a chance on Sanders hoping to recapture his Eagles form, but the production has been dismal. His vision and explosion that made him a dynamic threat have both diminished significantly, and the lack of receiving contributions limits his value in today's NFL. Dallas's backfield has moved past Sanders, and his grade reflects a player who is struggling to stay relevant. The decline from his 1,000-yard season has been shockingly steep.
