Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

The Packers locked up Pierre Strong Jr. at $1.2M AAV, earning a C- CVI that reflects a slightly underwhelming deal for depth roster management. Strong profiles as a depth piece in Green Bay's backfield rotation, making this contract a modest overpay for what amounts to special teams contributions and emergency carries behind their established running game. At 25, the former fourth-round pick still has untapped upside, but his limited offensive production to date suggests the Packers are paying market rate for a player who hasn't consistently proven he belongs in meaningful offensive snaps. The short-term structure keeps financial risk minimal, though Green Bay could have likely secured similar production at a lower cost through the draft or practice squad elevations. This feels like the type of depth signing that makes sense from a continuity standpoint but doesn't move the needle for a team looking to maximize value in their salary cap allocation.

Performance Analysis

Pierre Strong Jr.'s F grade in Green Bay confirms that the young running back hasn't been able to establish himself at the NFL level. After bouncing from New England to Cleveland to Green Bay, Strong has failed to carve out a consistent role anywhere he's been. His F grade reflects minimal production and an inability to separate himself from the crowd in what are typically crowded running back rooms. Strong has some receiving ability that gives him theoretical value as a third-down back, but the overall package hasn't been impressive enough to earn meaningful carries. The Packers' backfield has better options, and Strong is fighting for his NFL life at this point. Time is running out for a player who needed to show something by now.

Fan Sentiment

A classic depth-of-roster move with minimal fantasy or real-world impact. Headlines confirm this as a practice squad elevation tied directly to Emanuel Wilson's injury absence. The key signal is context: Strong Jr. only gets activated when the depth chart thins by necessity. Fans in Green Bay largely shrug, viewing him as a stopgap rather than a genuine contributor. Expect Strong Jr. to return to the practice squad once Wilson is healthy again.
