A classic late-round interior offensive lineman gamble that fits Green Bay's development-first philosophy. Multiple draft analysts covered Burton's selection at pick 153, noting his Kentucky pedigree and positional versatility. The strongest signal is his coach John Schlarman's strong endorsement, suggesting legitimate NFL-caliber upside at center or guard. Packers fans see this as low-risk depth-building along a line that needs long-term reinforcement. Burton projects as a developmental interior lineman who could earn a roster spot by Year 2.

This signing grades out as a slight overpay for the Green Bay Packers — the team is getting approximately what they're paying for in on-field production. Jager's on-field performance ranks in the bottom quartile among NFL EDGEs, grading him as an unproven at the position. His $1.2M average annual value ranks as bargain money for the EDGE market. The production lines up closely with the price tag — unproven production at bargain money, which is essentially paying fair market value. Jager is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract.
