Myles Montgomery

Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

Net of age, position, and term, Myles Montgomery's deal earns a C+ Contract Value Index. The contract—a three-year agreement worth $1.04M annually—reflects exactly what it is: a low-cost depth flyer on a rookie running back with no guaranteed money and minimal organizational commitment. Montgomery enters camp as an undrafted free agent from UCF, which places him squarely in the "prove-it" tier of the market; the Patriots are betting on competitive character and work ethic rather than on-field production or pedigree. The CVI grade acknowledges the minimal financial risk—three years of non-guaranteed salary on a reserve-level player is sensible roster construction—but also the equally minimal upside, given his status as a camp body competing for practice squad consideration rather than a path to meaningful snaps. Within the context of New England's recent moves, including the star acquisition of a receiver in early June, this signing registers as organizational depth-building on brand, not a signal of backfield investment or championship-window thinking. The contract carries zero dead-cap risk and no future cap burden, making it a functionally consequence-free roster slot; whether Montgomery sticks is purely a performance question, not a financial one. This is competent cap management masquerading as recruitment—safe, forgettable, and appropriate for his role.

Fan Sentiment

Inside the New England Patriots ecosystem, the take on Myles Montgomery settles at a C- sentiment grade. The narrative around Montgomery is straightforward and decidedly muted: he's framed as a depth addition—an undrafted free agent from UCF competing for roster real estate rather than a prospect expected to meaningfully reshape the backfield. Media outlets have acknowledged his competitive character and work ethic as genuine positives, but those intangibles carry limited weight when a player enters camp as a camp body with no guaranteed path to regular snaps. The Patriots' recent aggressive moves—most notably the acquisition of star receiver A.J. Brown in early June—underscore where the organization's priorities lie, and a UDFA running back signing registers as organizational background noise in comparison. Fans view Montgomery's arrival through a pragmatic lens: solid depth-building on brand for New England, but nothing that moves the needle on the team's trajectory as it enters the regular season as the AFC East's #2 seed. The sentiment reflects his actual role—a legitimate shot at a practice squad or reserve slot, but no expectation of early impact.
