Net of age, position, and term, Garrison Grimes' deal earns a C+ Contract Value Index. At $1.03M AAV over three years, Grimes is priced like a reliable NFL long snapper — a positional specialist earning modest middle-class money for a role that rarely makes headlines but demands consistency. The Jets' recent roster churn, including cuts at center and kicker positions paired with selective signings on offense, suggests the organization is in evaluation mode rather than a win-now window, which contextualizes why a depth piece like Grimes on a three-year deal fits a recalibration pattern rather than a core retention strategy. Long snapper is one of the few positions where durability and reliability trump flashy production metrics; Grimes' contract structure acknowledges that reality — he's a specialist holding steady in a supporting role. Given the Jets' 3-14 record and current roster adjustments, this deal represents a low-risk, low-impact commitment to a functional position, neither a bargain nor an albatross.
Other same-position deals the Contract Value Index also places in the C band — a quick read on where Garrison's contract sits relative to comparable money.
