Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

The Packers locked up Nick Niemann at exceptional value, securing a proven depth piece for just $2.3M on a smart one-year prove-it deal that screams steal in today's linebacker market. While Niemann operates as a depth piece rather than an every-down starter, his $2.3M AAV represents outstanding cost efficiency for a player who brings legitimate NFL experience and special teams versatility to Green Bay's linebacker corps. The modest $0.5M guaranteed money keeps the Packers' financial risk minimal while giving them flexibility to evaluate Niemann's fit within their defensive system throughout the season. This short-term structure works perfectly for both sides — Niemann gets a chance to showcase expanded value in a new environment while the Packers add quality depth without any long-term commitment. The B- CVI reflects exactly what smart front offices should target: productive role players on team-friendly deals that maximize roster depth without breaking the salary cap bank.

Performance Analysis

Nick Niemann earns an F grade as a veteran linebacker whose career has been defined by special teams contributions. His time across multiple stops has shown a player who understands the value of special teams play in staying employed. Green Bay keeps him around for his reliability on kick and punt coverage, where his effort and tackling are assets. The defensive contributions have been negligible, which is expected for a specialist at this stage. Niemann has carved out a career through effort and professionalism in the unglamorous corners of the roster.
