Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

The Broncos struck solid value with Tyler Badie's $1.1M deal, landing a depth piece at essentially minimum wage pricing that carries minimal risk with legitimate upside potential. While Badie profiles as a depth piece in terms of current production, his one-year, $1.1M contract represents the type of low-cost flyer that smart front offices should be taking on young running backs with developmental traits. At just 25 years old, Badie still has runway to carve out a more substantial role in Denver's backfield rotation, and the short-term commitment allows the team to evaluate his fit without any meaningful financial obligation beyond 2024. The contract structure is perfectly calibrated for a player of his tier — if Badie emerges as a contributor, Denver gets a bargain; if he remains buried on the depth chart, they can move on without consequence. This earns a B CVI as a textbook example of how to handle depth acquisitions: minimal investment, maximum flexibility, and a player young enough to potentially exceed expectations in Sean Payton's system.

Performance Analysis

Tyler Badie's D- grade in Denver is a familiar story of a small, speedy running back who can't quite stick at the NFL level. Badie has shown flashes of the explosive running ability that made him productive in college, but the consistency and workload capacity haven't been there. His D- reflects a player who gets limited touches and doesn't produce enough with them to earn more. The Broncos' backfield has competition, and Badie is at the bottom of that hierarchy. His receiving ability gives him theoretical value as a change-of-pace option, but it hasn't translated to meaningful production. Badie is fighting to stay relevant in a crowded position room.
