A pure depth addition, Heflin is a low-risk reserve/future signing with minimal immediate impact. Five headlines covered the move, though all framed it strictly as a futures deal with no excitement. The key signal is his age — 27 with limited NFL production — suggesting a camp body role at best. Fans see this as roster housekeeping, not a meaningful defensive line upgrade. Heflin will compete for a roster spot in training camp but faces long odds of making the 53-man squad.

This signing grades out as a bad deal for the New York Jets — the team is paying more than the on-field production currently warrants. Jack's on-field performance ranks in the bottom quartile among NFL DLs, grading him as an unproven at the position. His $1.1M average annual value ranks as bargain money for the DL 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. Jack is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract.
