Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

This signing grades out as a slight overpay for the Washington Commanders — the team is getting approximately what they're paying for in on-field production. Jeremy's on-field performance ranks in the bottom quartile among NFL RBs, grading him as an unproven at the position. His $1.5M average annual value ranks as bargain money for the RB market. The production lines up closely with the price tag — unproven production at bargain money, which is essentially paying fair market value. Jeremy is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract.

Performance Analysis

Jeremy McNichols receives an F grade as a veteran running back who has been a journeyman throughout an eight-year career. His 846 rushing yards and six touchdowns across 65 games with seven different teams tells the story of a player who keeps finding work but never earns a featured role. The 74 receptions for 518 yards show genuine pass-catching ability that has been his primary calling card throughout his career. McNichols found his longest home in Washington with back-to-back 17-game seasons in 2024-2025, serving as a change-of-pace and third-down option. The F grade reflects his limited rushing production, but his receiving ability and special teams contributions have kept him employed far longer than most late-round running backs.

Fan Sentiment

A reliable depth re-signing that keeps Washington's backfield stable heading into the new season. Multiple outlets covered the move, signaling McNichols earned his return through consistent contributions. His landing on an NFL top-10 list suggests legitimate special teams or situational value beyond typical depth signings. Fans appreciate continuity, though some question whether upgrading the position with a higher-ceiling back was missed. McNichols projects as a quality depth piece and special teams contributor, rarely threatening for a starting role.
