A low-risk depth signing that adds a familiar face but minimal upside. Five headlines covered the move, with one notably referencing his infamous Vikings bust status. The strongest signal here is Treadwell's inability to stick as a starter anywhere since being drafted 23rd overall in 2016. Fans remember him as one of the bigger first-round busts in recent memory, generating skepticism. Treadwell projects as a practice squad candidate or seventh receiver at best for Indianapolis.

This extension grades out as a reasonable signing for the Indianapolis Colts — the team is getting significantly more on-field production than what they're paying for. Laquon's on-field performance ranks in the top 30% among NFL WRs, grading him as an above-average starter at the position. His $1.5M average annual value ranks as below-market money for the WR market. The production-to-cost ratio is favorable — above-average starter output at a below-market price point represents solid asset management. Laquon is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract. The one-year deal minimizes the team's financial risk, effectively making this a prove-it contract.
