Contract Value Index (CVI)

The Broncos secured exceptional value by locking up Pat Bryant at $1.6M annually over four years, earning a B+ CVI that reflects a clear steal in today's receiver market. While Bryant profiles as a rotational player rather than a weekly starter, Denver is paying him well below market rate for a proven NFL wideout — the $6.6M total investment with only $1.4M guaranteed represents minimal risk for a franchise building depth behind their established targets. The contract structure heavily favors the team, as the low guarantee means they can move on after year one if needed while the modest AAV provides massive upside if Bryant develops into a more prominent role. At this salary tier, the Broncos essentially acquired a lottery ticket on a young receiver who could outperform his current rotational status without meaningful financial commitment. This type of shrewd depth signing — paying backup money for a player with starter upside — exemplifies how smart front offices build sustainable rosters in the salary cap era.

Performance Analysis

Pat Bryant earns a D grade as a rookie receiver trying to find his place in Denver's offense. The young wideout has shown glimpses of the route-running ability that got him drafted, but consistent production has been elusive in a Broncos passing attack that spreads the ball around. Bryant's D grade reflects the typical growing pains of a young receiver learning NFL coverage schemes and defensive complexity. His catch rate and separation ability need to improve before he can compete for a larger share of targets. Denver's receiver room has experienced options, making it harder for Bryant to earn consistent reps. The talent is there in flashes — now it's about stringing it together over a full season.
