Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

The Jets struck gold with Jarius Monroe's two-year, $1.8M deal, landing an A+ CVI that represents exceptional value in today's safety market. At just $900K per year, Monroe delivers rotational-level production at a fraction of what most NFL teams pay for competent secondary depth — a steal that showcases smart roster construction in an era of inflated defensive back contracts. The modest two-year commitment carries virtually zero financial risk while providing the Jets with a cost-controlled asset who can contribute on special teams and step into defensive packages when needed. Monroe's deal is the type of shrewd, low-cost signing that allows teams to allocate premium dollars elsewhere while maintaining quality depth throughout the roster. For a Jets secondary that needs reliable contributors behind their starters, this A+ CVI contract delivers immediate value and flexibility without handcuffing the franchise's salary cap moving forward.

Performance Analysis

Jarius Monroe grades at a D based on nine career games across two seasons with the Jets. His eight tackles in those nine appearances is limited production that suggests a special teams and depth role in New York's secondary. Monroe has been around the Jets for two years without earning significant defensive playing time, which tells you where he sits on the depth chart. The D grade reflects a player who is fighting for a roster spot every week rather than a contributor with a defined defensive role. Monroe needs to make noise in training camp to earn expanded opportunities, because nine games and eight tackles is not a foundation for a long NFL career.
