Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

The Falcons secured reasonable depth insurance with Tyler Goodson's $1.0M deal, landing a C+ CVI that represents fair market value for a proven backup running back. While Goodson profiles as a depth piece rather than a weekly starter, his versatility as both a rusher and receiver provides Atlanta with the kind of multi-dimensional option that's become essential in modern NFL backfields. The one-year structure eliminates long-term risk while giving the Falcons flexibility to evaluate their backfield hierarchy behind their primary options. At just $1.0M, this contract won't strain Atlanta's salary cap and allows them to retain a reliable contributor who can step up if injuries strike their running back room. This signing reflects smart roster management — not flashy, but the kind of depth acquisition that often proves valuable when the season gets physical and attrition becomes a factor.

Performance Analysis

Tyler Goodson's F grade with the Colts is a straightforward assessment of a running back who hasn't been able to stick at the NFL level. Goodson was a productive college back at Iowa, but the transition to the professional game has exposed the gaps in his game. His F grade reflects minimal production and an inability to earn meaningful carries in Indianapolis' backfield. The Colts have better options, and Goodson hasn't done anything to change that evaluation. His speed and receiving ability were supposed to be selling points, but neither has translated to NFL production. Goodson is on the verge of being out of the league entirely.

Fan Sentiment

A low-risk depth add that won't move the needle for Atlanta's backfield. Five headlines covered the signing, mostly noting his Indianapolis tenure and local Georgia ties. Goodson is a practice-squad-level back who hasn't carved out a consistent NFL role. Fans are buzzing primarily over the local angle — he's a North Gwinnett graduate returning home. Expect a training camp battle with minimal chances of making the 53-man roster.
