Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

The Tennessee Titans' one-year, $1.1M deal with James Proche II earns a D+ CVI, representing a slight overpay for an unproven commodity at wide receiver. While $1.1M AAV sits comfortably within backup territory, Proche's lack of established NFL production makes even this modest investment questionable when the Titans could have allocated those resources elsewhere or taken a flyer on a younger developmental prospect. The former Ravens receiver has shown flashes in limited opportunities but remains more potential than proven asset, making it difficult to justify guaranteed money for someone still searching for his first meaningful role. The silver lining lies in the contract's low-risk structure — just one year with minimal dead money exposure if Proche fails to carve out a niche in Tennessee's receiving corps. Ultimately, this feels like the Titans paying slightly above replacement-level value for a player who hasn't demonstrated he's clearly superior to minimum-wage alternatives, though the short-term commitment prevents this from becoming a franchise-damaging mistake.

Performance Analysis

At 29 years old and six seasons into his NFL career, James Proche II sits firmly in replacement-level territory at the wide receiver position, a characterization his F performance grade reflects without ambiguity. His most telling number this season is also his ceiling — 65 receiving yards across nine games, a production line that barely registers as a footnote in any offensive game plan. The core weakness is glaring: Proche II has never developed into a consistent receiving weapon, and his career totals of 34 receptions for 364 yards confirm he has spent the bulk of his tenure as a fringe contributor rather than a reliable option on the depth chart. He's appeared in nine games this season, but volume without production is a hollow argument for roster security, and nothing in his statistical profile suggests he's pushing for a larger role. The mediaFraming around him is essentially silence — no national attention, no beat writer storylines, no injury drama — which is itself a verdict on his standing within the organization. With the Titans adding wide receiver depth this offseason, including the signing of K.J. Osborn, Proche II's path to meaningful snaps narrows further heading into a 2026 regular season that still sits 138 days away. At $1.1M, he occupies the cheapest tier of roster construction, but on a team that finished 3-14, even budget depth pieces need to justify their presence on the active roster.
