Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

The Packers secured solid depth value with Jonathan Ford's modest $1.5M deal, earning a B CVI that reflects smart roster construction at minimal cost. Ford operates as a serviceable depth piece at defensive tackle, and paying replacement-level money for a player who can step in when needed represents sound financial management in today's inflated market. The one-year structure with just $100K guaranteed gives Green Bay maximum flexibility while Ford gets an opportunity to prove he belongs on an NFL roster long-term. This is exactly the type of low-risk, low-cost signing that allows teams to allocate premium dollars to impact players while maintaining adequate depth across the roster. Ford won't move the needle significantly, but at this price point, the Packers are getting exactly what they paid for without any meaningful downside risk.

Performance Analysis

Jonathan Ford earns a D- grade as a rotational defensive tackle in Green Bay's front. The Packers have been developing young players along the defensive line, and Ford is one of several competing for meaningful snaps in the interior. His run-stuffing ability shows up on occasion, but the inability to generate any pass-rush pressure limits his overall value in the modern NFL. Green Bay needs more from its interior line to support its edge rushers, and Ford hasn't been that answer. He's a depth piece fighting to maintain his roster spot against younger, more dynamic options.
