A low-risk practice squad depth move that keeps a familiar face in the building. Five headlines covered it, noting his Steelers roots and rookie-year promise. The strongest signal is his prior Panthers ties, suggesting organizational confidence in his development. Fans are mildly intrigued by his hard-hitting reputation from Pittsburgh. Windmon needs a standout camp to earn a 53-man roster spot anytime soon.

This signing grades out as a significant overpay for the Carolina Panthers — the team is paying more than the on-field production currently warrants. Jacoby's on-field performance ranks in the bottom quartile among NFL LBs, grading him as an unproven at the position. His $1.0M average annual value ranks as bargain money for the LB 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. Jacoby is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract.
