A low-upside depth signing that solves little for a Cardinals backfield already adding via the draft. Headlines mock the move, with one calling Allgeier 'screwed' after Arizona drafted a star RB. The key red flag: Allgeier joins a depth chart where his path to carries is immediately blocked. Fans question why Arizona signed him at all given the incoming rookie competition. Allgeier figures to be a camp body or practice squad candidate unless injuries strike early.

This signing grades out as a great value signing for the Arizona Cardinals — the team is getting significantly more on-field production than what they're paying for. Tyler's on-field performance ranks in the middle of the pack among NFL RBs, grading him as a serviceable starter at the position. His $6.1M average annual value ranks as bargain money for the RB market. The value equation works strongly in the team's favor — they're getting serviceable starter production at bargain cost, which is the kind of financial efficiency that builds roster depth. Tyler 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.
