Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

The Jaguars secured solid depth value in signing Rayuan Lane III to a four-year, $4.4M deal ($1.1M AAV), earning a B CVI that reflects smart roster construction at the safety position. Lane represents a classic depth piece signing — a player who won't move the needle as a starter but provides crucial insurance and special teams contribution at a price point that won't hamstring the salary cap. The minimal guaranteed money ($200K) gives Jacksonville excellent flexibility to move on without financial penalty if Lane doesn't develop or if they find an upgrade, while the four-year term suggests they view him as a foundational depth player rather than a short-term stopgap. At this salary tier, the Jaguars aren't expecting Pro Bowl production, but rather a reliable backup who can step in during injuries and contribute on coverage units without creating a major dropoff. This B CVI reflects the sweet spot of NFL roster building — paying appropriately for known commodities who fill specific roles without overpaying for upside that may never materialize.

Performance Analysis

Rayuan Lane III grades as a depth piece among NFL safeties — a below-average player at the position. His strongest area is tackling at 1.18 (below the NFL average of 3.85), ranking as well below average for the position. Passes defended, at 0.06 compared to an NFL average of 0.30, is where he falls short relative to the position. Limited games played (17 career) reduces confidence in this grade.
