Green Bay Packers sign S Mark Perry

The Green Bay Packers' signing of safety Mark Perry earns a C+ Contract Value Index (CVI), reflecting a modest depth addition on a league-minimum deal that carries minimal financial risk but equally modest upside. At $885K on a one-year contract, this is pure roster filler — the kind of low-cost probe the Packers can deploy without cap consequence as they navigate a 9-7-1 season sitting at the NFC North's #7 seed. Perry's arrival doesn't solve any immediate defensive need, nor does it signal an aggressive midseason pivot; rather, it's the kind of depth move teams make when they're testing the waiver wire or responding to injuries without committing real resources. The CVI grade reflects the reality of the transaction: there is no downside from a salary-cap perspective, but there's also no meaningful upside — he's a low-floor, low-ceiling bet that says more about the Packers' current roster flexibility than about Perry's franchise impact. For a team on a four-game losing streak, this signing is the offseason equivalent of a shrug — practical, defensible, and forgettable unless circumstances force him into significant snaps.
