Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

This Edgerrin Cooper extension is an absolute steal for Green Bay, earning an A+ CVI that reflects exceptional value extraction by the front office. Locking up a solid starter linebacker at just $2.1M annually represents elite cost control in today's inflated market, especially when comparable linebackers are commanding $8-12M per year. The four-year term captures Cooper's prime years while the $6.6M in guarantees provides reasonable security without handcuffing the franchise long-term. At 25 years old, Cooper should maintain or even improve his current production level throughout this deal, making the back-loaded risk minimal for a player already contributing at a consistent level. This is exactly the type of shrewd roster building that championship contenders execute — identifying and retaining solid contributors before they price themselves out, giving the Packers crucial salary cap flexibility to address premium positions while maintaining defensive depth.

Performance Analysis

Edgerrin Cooper earns a C+ for the Packers at linebacker, one of the more impressive rookie performances at the position this season. Cooper has shown the instincts and athleticism that made him a coveted draft prospect, and his ability to process plays has been advanced for a first-year player. His tackling has been reliable, and he has shown enough in coverage to stay on the field during passing downs. Green Bay has been searching for a long-term answer at linebacker, and Cooper looks like he could be that answer. The C+ reflects a strong starting point with clear room for growth as he gains more NFL experience.
