A future contract signing for a practice squad linebacker rates as a minimal roster-filler move. Five headlines covered Bailey, mostly as a practice squad elevation, signaling limited media interest. The strongest signal is Bailey's repeated emergency elevations, suggesting roster depth issues rather than genuine talent recognition. Fans largely view this as a forgettable depth move with no impact on playoff aspirations. Bailey projects as a career practice squad journeyman, unlikely to crack the 53-man roster long-term.

This signing grades out as a significant overpay for the Denver Broncos — the team is paying more than the on-field production currently warrants. Levelle's on-field performance ranks in the bottom quartile among NFL LBs, grading him as an unproven at the position. His $1.1M average annual value ranks as bargain money for the LB market. The concern here is the gap between production and cost — unproven output at bargain money means the team is paying a premium above the player's on-field value. Levelle is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract.
