Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

The Jaguars secured solid value with Eric Murray's three-year, $19.5M extension, earning a B- CVI that reflects a fair deal for a serviceable starter at safety. At $6.5M AAV, Jacksonville is paying appropriate market rate for a player who consistently delivers above-replacement level production without reaching elite territory — exactly the type of steady, unspectacular contributor that championship defenses are built around. Murray's age curve suggests he should maintain his current performance level throughout most of this contract, making the modest guaranteed money ($10.0M) a calculated risk rather than a franchise-altering commitment. The structure gives Jacksonville flexibility to move on after two seasons if his play declines, while the reasonable AAV won't handcuff their ability to invest in premium talent elsewhere. This is textbook roster building — not every signing needs to be a home run, and Murray represents the kind of reliable veteran presence that allows younger players to develop while maintaining defensive competency.

Performance Analysis

Eric Murray earns a C- for the Jaguars at safety, a veteran defender who has been a reliable depth piece and occasional starter throughout his career. Murray brings experience and versatility to Jacksonville's secondary, capable of playing both safety spots and sliding to the slot if needed. His coverage has been adequate, and his tackling has been consistent. The Jaguars value his professionalism and ability to fill multiple roles without drama. Murray is the kind of veteran that every roster needs — he will not make the Pro Bowl, but he will not be the reason you lose a game either.
