Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

The Jets secured solid value by locking up Isaiah Williams at just $1M per year, a deal that earns a B CVI given the modest financial commitment for a proven depth piece. At this salary level, Williams doesn't need to be a game-changer to justify his contract — he simply needs to provide reliable production when called upon, whether as a rotational option or injury replacement. The two-year term offers the Jets flexibility while giving Williams stability, creating a low-risk proposition that could easily outperform expectations if he takes a developmental leap or if injuries create more opportunities ahead of him on the depth chart. For a franchise still building offensive depth around Aaron Rodgers, this represents the kind of shrewd roster construction that championship teams rely on — finding competent contributors at below-market rates. Williams may not move the needle as a starter, but at $1M annually, he doesn't need to be anything more than what he is: a dependable depth piece who can step up when needed.

Performance Analysis

Isaiah Williams grades at a D- as a young receiver who has shown some gadget-player versatility but not enough to secure a consistent offensive role. His 28 receptions for 199 yards with no touchdowns across 17 games split between Detroit and the Jets is underwhelming production that puts him firmly on the roster bubble. The 34 rushing yards suggest teams have tried to use his quickness on designed runs and jet sweeps, but the lack of touchdowns in any form is a red flag. Williams played 15 games with the Jets in 2025, getting more opportunities than he had in Detroit but not producing enough to justify continued investment. He needs to either develop as a route runner or carve out a niche as a return specialist to extend his NFL career.
