New York Jets sign DT Jowon Briggs

This extension grades out as a smart signing for the New York Jets — the team is getting significantly more on-field production than what they're paying for. Jowon's on-field performance ranks in the middle of the pack among NFL DTs, grading him as a serviceable starter at the position. His $1.1M average annual value ranks as bargain money for the DT market. The value equation works strongly in the team's favor — they're getting serviceable starter production at bargain cost, which is the kind of financial efficiency that builds roster depth. Jowon is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract.
