Contract Value Index (CVI)
This signing grades out as a reasonable signing for the Free Agent — the team is getting significantly more on-field production than what they're paying for. Jake's on-field performance ranks in the lower half among NFL PKs, grading him as a rotational player at the position. His $1.5M average annual value ranks as bargain money for the PK market. The production-to-cost ratio is favorable — rotational player output at a bargain price point represents solid asset management. Jake is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract. The 1-year, $1.5M deal ($125K guaranteed, 8%) keeps the commitment short, giving the team financial flexibility to move on if performance drops.
Performance Analysis
Jake Moody grades as a rotational player among NFL pks — a below-average player at the position. His strongest area is fg accuracy at 82.6 (below the NFL average of 85.0), ranking as below average for the position. His 2025 season graded as a C-, a significant jump from his D- mark in 2024.

Fan Sentiment
Jake Moody's perception heading into 2026 is decidedly negative, anchored by a D-grade performance that reflects genuine on-field struggles as a kicker. The re-signing headlines, while ostensibly positive on their surface, mask organizational concern rather than confidence—a one-year, $1.5M deal suggests the Commanders are hedging their bets rather than committing to him as a long-term solution. For a specialist position where consistency is paramount, a D performance grade indicates meaningful accuracy or execution issues that have eroded fan and media confidence. The absence of any accomplishment-based headlines (Pro Bowl selections, clutch game-winners, accuracy milestones) in recent coverage underscores that he is viewed as a problem to be managed rather than a reliable asset. Without a significant performance turnaround during the 2026 season, Moody faces legitimate pressure to either prove his worth or lose his roster spot to competition.
