Green Bay Packers sign K Lucas Havrisik

Lucas Havrisik's one-year, $1.075M signing earns a C+ Contract Value Index (CVI)—a fair-value deal that reflects solid kicker production at market-rate pay, with no discount and no overpay. At $1.075M on a one-year pact, Havrisik lands in the middle band of NFL kicker salaries, where the Packers are paying for reliability without the premium attached to elite leg talent or veteran security. The recent headline confirming a Packers record sets a baseline for on-field contribution, though the contract structure—no multi-year commitment, no guaranteed money beyond the stated total—limits both upside ceiling and downside risk. For a team sitting at 9-7-1 and clinging to playoff position, a mid-market kicker contract is pragmatic roster construction; you're not overpaying for a star, nor are you gambling on a bargain-bin reclamation. The C+ verdict reflects exactly what the math says: Havrisik delivers starter-level production at a price that matches the positional market, making this a neutral value exchange heading into the regular season.
