A low-risk camp body signing with minimal roster impact for Green Bay. Five headlines cover this move, all focused on his subsequent release rather than the signing itself. The key signal is damning: Johnson was waived before the NFL Draft even concluded. Fans largely ignored this move, as Johnson never cracked the 53-man roster conversation. Green Bay will look to undrafted free agents and draft picks to fill depth at linebacker.

This signing grades out as an overpay for the Green Bay Packers — the team is paying more than the on-field production currently warrants. Jamon's on-field performance ranks in the bottom quartile among NFL LBs, grading him as an unproven at the position. His $1.8M 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. Jamon is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract. The one-year deal minimizes the team's financial risk, effectively making this a prove-it contract.
