Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

The Jacksonville Jaguars' one-year, $1.3M deal with Deejay Dallas earns a D- CVI, reflecting a modest overpay for an unproven commodity at running back. While Dallas brings special teams value and depth versatility from his Seattle tenure, paying $1.3M annually for a player who has yet to establish himself as a reliable NFL contributor represents questionable resource allocation. The contract structure does limit Jacksonville's downside with just $200K guaranteed, allowing them to cut bait without significant financial penalty if Dallas fails to carve out a meaningful role. However, even for a low-cost flyer, the Jaguars could have likely secured similar production from a rookie draft pick or street free agent at a fraction of the cost. This signing suggests either an overvaluation of Dallas's limited sample size or desperation to fill roster spots, making it a poor value proposition despite the relatively small financial commitment.

Performance Analysis

DeeJay Dallas earns an F for the Jaguars at running back, a special teams player whose offensive contributions have been virtually nonexistent. Dallas has been unable to earn touches in the running game and has not shown the ability to be an effective change-of-pace option. His value has been confined to kick returns and coverage units, and even that has been inconsistent. Jacksonville has better options in their backfield, and Dallas is at the very bottom of the depth chart. He is a player whose NFL survival depends entirely on special teams, and that alone may not be enough to keep him employed.

Fan Sentiment

A depth-level extension that keeps a rotational back around without moving the needle. Reporters largely ignored this move, reflecting its low strategic significance for Jacksonville. Dallas has been a reliable special teams contributor but never established himself as a feature back. Fans are largely indifferent, hoping this signals nothing about the team's ambition at running back. Dallas will likely remain a fringe roster player and core special teamer through this deal.
