Baltimore Ravens sign NT John Jenkins to a one-year contract extension

Solid depth move. Jenkins is a veteran nose tackle with 13 years of NFL experience who provides proven run-defense value. At his age and stage, a one-year extension represents a reasonable commitment to a rotational/complementary starter who knows the system. Not flashy, but sensible roster management to strengthen interior run defense.

Based on media coverage and fan discussion

The Contract Value Index rates this as a reasonable deal with a CVI ratio of 1.72. John projects at average production (62/100) for the NT position. The salary is well below the NT market rate (35/100), contributing to the value profile. At 95/100 on the age-prime scale, John is in or near his prime years.
