This signing grades out as a smart signing for the Green Bay Packers — the team is getting significantly more on-field production than what they're paying for. Javon's on-field performance ranks in the lower half among NFL DLs, grading him as a rotational player at the position. His $11.5M average annual value ranks as bargain money for the DL market. The value equation works strongly in the team's favor — they're getting rotational player production at bargain cost, which is the kind of financial efficiency that builds roster depth. Javon is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract. The 2-year, $23.0M deal keeps the commitment short, giving the team financial flexibility to move on if performance drops.
