Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

The Jaguars secured solid depth at a bargain price, making Matt Dickerson's $1.4M deal a clear steal in today's inflated pass-rush market. Getting a proven depth piece for essentially minimum wage represents exceptional value when quality edge defenders routinely command $8-12M annually, and Dickerson's production tier justifies rotation snaps without breaking the bank. At this salary level, Jacksonville faces virtually zero financial risk with only $100K guaranteed, meaning they can easily move on if he doesn't fit their defensive scheme or fails to contribute on special teams. The contract structure is pure upside for the Jaguars — they're essentially getting a lottery ticket on a player who could outperform his modest compensation if he stays healthy and develops further. This C- CVI reflects the limited ceiling of a depth signing, but the risk-reward ratio heavily favors Jacksonville in what amounts to a no-brainer roster addition that strengthens their pass-rush depth without any meaningful salary cap implications.

Performance Analysis

Matt Dickerson earns a D- grade as a defensive end who has been a depth piece across multiple teams. His stop in Jacksonville represents another opportunity to contribute in a rotational role along the defensive line. Dickerson's ability to set the edge against the run provides some value, but the pass-rush production that would elevate him to a featured role has been absent. The Jaguars' defensive line has other options as featured players, and Dickerson fills the gaps. He's a known veteran quantity whose ceiling has been established.

Fan Sentiment

Dickerson's extension is a low-profile depth move with modest upside for Jacksonville's defensive line rotation. Media coverage is minimal, reflecting the move's lack of marquee appeal. Dickerson has flashed rotational value but hasn't consistently earned significant snaps in the NFL. Fans are largely indifferent, hoping he develops into a reliable interior presence behind starters. He projects as a fringe roster contributor unless injuries create a starting opportunity.
