Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

This signing grades out as a significant overpay for the Denver Broncos — the team is paying more than the on-field production currently warrants. Wil's on-field performance ranks in the bottom third among NFL PKs, grading him as a depth piece at the position. His $5.4M average annual value ranks as below-market money for the PK market. The concern here is the gap between production and cost — depth piece output at below-market money means the team is paying a premium above the player's on-field value. Wil is still in or near his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract. The 3-year, $16.1M contract with $7.7M guaranteed (48%) represents a moderate investment with room to exit if needed.

Performance Analysis

Wil Lutz grades as a solid starter among NFL pks — an above-average player at the position. His strongest area is field goal accuracy at 87.5% (above the NFL average of 85.0%), ranking as above average for the position. His production dropped from a A- in 2024 to a C+ in 2025.

Current Sentiment

Wil Lutz, the Denver Broncos' 31-year-old kicker with 10 years of experience, has had a relatively solid performance this season, earning a B+ grade and a score of 72 from the media and fans. While he has had some notable misses, such as pushing a 54-yard field goal wide right, he has also made important kicks, including a 50-yard field goal at the end of the first half against the Bills. The Broncos' kicking unit's alignment issues on a missed 45-yard field goal against the Patriots have been addressed, and overall, Lutz's performance has been more positive than negative, leading to a favorable sentiment from the media and fans.
