Contract Value Index (CVI)
This signing grades out as an overpay for the New York Giants — the team is paying more than the on-field production currently warrants. Jason's on-field performance ranks in the bottom quartile among NFL PKs, grading him as an unproven at the position. His $1.4M average annual value ranks as bargain money for the PK 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. Jason is still in or near his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract. The 1-year, $1.4M deal ($300K guaranteed, 21%) keeps the commitment short, giving the team financial flexibility to move on if performance drops.
