Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

The Jaguars locked up Parker Washington at an absolute steal, earning a B+ CVI on a deal that screams smart roster management. At just $1M AAV over four years, Jacksonville is paying rotational player money for a receiver who's shown flashes of legitimate upside in limited opportunities. The modest $0.2M guaranteed keeps the contract virtually risk-free while giving Washington four years to develop into a more significant role. This is exactly the type of low-cost, high-ceiling bet that savvy front offices make — Washington gets job security and a chance to prove himself, while the Jaguars get a controllable asset who could easily outperform this bargain-basement deal. Even if Washington remains a rotational piece, the financial commitment is so minimal that Jacksonville essentially bought themselves a lottery ticket with four years to see if it pays off.

Performance Analysis

Parker Washington enters his third NFL season as a developmental receiver for Jacksonville, still searching for a consistent role after three years of modest production. Earning a D overall grade, Washington remains a fringe contributor rather than a reliable weapon in a crowded receiver room. At just 24, however, his youth keeps the ceiling conversation alive. Washington's most encouraging number this season is his 14.6 yards per reception, comfortably above the NFL average of 12.7 and suggesting genuine big-play ability when targeted. His 52.9 receiving yards per game sits right at the league average of 50.0, which is functional but unremarkable for a receiver with his draft pedigree. The concern lies in consistency — graded F in both 2023 and 2024, Washington has shown only marginal improvement toward a C in 2025, indicating he hasn't yet solved the reliability problem that defines NFL starters. His touchdown production of 0.31 per game mirrors the league average of 0.30, meaning he's not yet a red-zone weapon, but he's not a liability there either. The yards-per-reception number is the lone elite-adjacent trait on his profile and the clearest reason to remain cautiously optimistic. Washington profiles as a complementary slot receiver who wins on intermediate and vertical routes when schemes create clean releases. The trajectory moving from consecutive F grades into a C this season is small but meaningful progress. If he can push yards-per-game closer to the elite threshold of 80.0 and solidify his route tree, a breakout feels within reach. Washington is a name to monitor, not yet a name to trust.

Current Sentiment

Parker Washington enters the 2026 offseason on a significant upward trajectory, buoyed by what appears to have been a breakout 2025 campaign that drew praise from his own quarterback and generated genuine buzz among fantasy football communities. Trevor Lawrence's public endorsement of Washington's production carries meaningful weight, as quarterback validation is one of the strongest signals of a receiver's standing within an organization. Media coverage has been largely favorable, with analysts noting Washington may be undervalued relative to his actual on-field contributions, a narrative that typically precedes a contract or role elevation conversation. The one minor blemish in his coverage cycle is a reported 'offseason snub,' suggesting he has not yet fully crossed into mainstream recognition despite his performance merits. Overall, fan and media perception of Washington is trending positively heading into 2026, positioning him as a name to watch for a potential breakout designation and possible roster or contract upgrade within Jacksonville.
