A low-risk depth re-signing that keeps roster continuity at tight end without breaking the bank. Five headlines covered the move, with one outlet oddly calling it a 'bold decision' — that's generous. The strongest signal is Krull's contested 27-yard catch showing functional playmaking ability in limited snaps. Fans are largely indifferent, viewing Krull as a camp body competing for a roster spot rather than a genuine contributor. Expect Krull to compete for the TE3 role with a long-shot chance of making the 53-man roster.

This signing grades out as about market rate for the Denver Broncos — the team is getting approximately what they're paying for in on-field production. Lucas's on-field performance ranks in the bottom third among NFL TEs, grading him as a depth piece at the position. His $1.4M average annual value ranks as bargain money for the TE market. The production-to-cost ratio is favorable — depth piece output at a bargain price point represents solid asset management. Lucas is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract.
