Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

This signing grades out as a slight overpay for the Jacksonville Jaguars — the team is getting approximately what they're paying for in on-field production. Tim's on-field performance ranks in the bottom quartile among NFL WRs, grading him as an unproven at the position. His $2.0M average annual value ranks as bargain money for the WR market. The production lines up closely with the price tag — unproven production at bargain money, which is essentially paying fair market value. Tim is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract. The 1-year, $2.0M deal ($1.0M guaranteed, 50%) keeps the commitment short, giving the team financial flexibility to move on if performance drops.

Performance Analysis

Tim Patrick's F grade in Jacksonville is a sad final chapter for a receiver who was once a legitimate contributor in Denver. Patrick was a reliable possession receiver for the Broncos, providing solid route-running and consistent hands before a devastating knee injury changed everything. His F grade reflects a player who has been unable to recapture any of his pre-injury form. The ACL tear robbed Patrick of the quickness and confidence that made him effective, and the results in Jacksonville have been dismal. The Jaguars took a chance on the veteran, but he simply couldn't bounce back. Patrick's career is a painful reminder of how one injury can end even a solid NFL career.

How Tim Compares at the Position

Tim Patrick ranks 248th of 306 graded wide receivers by performance. That slots Tim between Xavier Smith (F) just ahead and Zay Jones (F) just behind.

Fan Sentiment

Tim Patrick's public profile entering 2026 sits firmly in D+ territory — a sentiment grade that has been trending sharply downward over the last 30 days and reflects the perception of a veteran receiver operating on borrowed time rather than building momentum. The media narrative around Patrick is one of quiet irrelevance: a 32-year-old, six-year veteran on a modest $2.5M AAV deal who has never quite escaped the label of a competent depth piece, and whose 191 career receptions paint the picture of a player who has carved out a living being reliable without ever being remarkable. That framing aligns directly with his on-field output, where a steady F performance grade signals that Patrick is not generating the kind of production needed to rewrite the story — 187 receiving yards across 16 games in 2025 is replacement-level work, the output of a roster filler rather than a meaningful contributor to a receiver corps. His trade from Detroit to Jacksonville at the 2026 NFL Draft only reinforces the journeyman narrative — this is a player being moved between organizations as a depth piece, not a coveted asset. Jacksonville's own recent roster activity, which includes an influx of new signings at multiple positions, suggests a front office actively reshaping its roster, leaving little runway for an aging, below-average contributor to reclaim standing. The bottom line: Patrick's narrative is that of a receiver on the fringe, with declining perception, a performance floor that offers little optimism, and a team environment that seems pointed away from him rather than toward him.
