Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

The Seahawks struck gold with Ja'markis Weston's one-year, $1.0M deal, earning an A CVI that screams "organizational steal." Securing a rotational linebacker at just above veteran minimum is exactly the type of savvy roster building that championship contenders execute — getting legitimate NFL depth without mortgaging precious cap space. At this price point, Weston doesn't need to be anything more than a reliable special teams contributor and spot starter to justify his paycheck, creating tremendous upside if he develops into a more prominent role. The single-year structure is pure genius from Seattle's front office, allowing them to evaluate his growth while maintaining complete flexibility for 2025. This is the kind of low-risk, high-reward signing that separates well-run organizations from the pack, giving the Seahawks quality linebacker depth at a fraction of what similar players command on the open market.

Performance Analysis

Ja'Markis Weston grades at a D+ based on just three games with the Jets in 2025, which is nowhere near enough to fairly evaluate his abilities. His two tackles in those three appearances suggest a special teams role rather than any defensive contribution. Weston is the kind of fringe roster player who is fighting for a spot every single week, and the limited sample tells us almost nothing about his long-term potential. Now with the Seahawks, he gets another chance to prove he belongs on an NFL roster. The D+ grade is essentially a placeholder for a player who needs significantly more playing time before anyone can make a definitive evaluation.
