Pittsburgh Steelers sign DB Jaquan Brisker

This signing grades out as a reasonable signing for the Pittsburgh Steelers — the team is getting significantly more on-field production than what they're paying for. Jaquan's on-field performance ranks in the upper half among NFL DBs, grading him as a solid starter at the position. His $5.5M average annual value ranks as below-market money for the DB market. The production-to-cost ratio is favorable — solid starter output at a below-market price point represents solid asset management. Jaquan 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.
