This signing was a pure camp body move with zero long-term upside for New England. Multiple headlines confirm Jiles was cut within days of signing, a textbook post-draft roster shuffle. The key signal is damning: he couldn't survive even the earliest roster trimming cycle. Fans see this as meaningless churn, typical of fringe UDFA roster management in May. The Patriots will turn to newly signed UDFAs to fill the receiver depth void going forward.

This signing grades out as a significant overpay for the New England Patriots — the team is paying more than the on-field production currently warrants. John's on-field performance ranks in the bottom quartile among NFL WRs, grading him as an unproven at the position. His $885K average annual value ranks as bargain money for the WR market. The concern here is the gap between production and cost — unproven output at bargain money means the team is paying a premium above the player's on-field value. John is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract.
