Fair Value
OverpayFair ValueGreat Value
This signing grades out as a slight overpay for the New York Giants — the team is getting approximately what they're paying for in on-field production. J.C.'s on-field performance ranks in the bottom quartile among NFL Ts, grading him as an unproven at the position. His $1.2M average annual value ranks as bargain money for the T market. The production lines up closely with the price tag — unproven production at bargain money, which is essentially paying fair market value. J.C. is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract. The 4-year, $4.7M contract with $289K guaranteed (6%) represents a moderate investment with room to exit if needed.
