Jordan Waters is a low-risk, low-reward roster flier for the Rams' backfield depth. Headlines confirm a reserve/futures deal, signaling this is a camp body addition, not a meaningful upgrade. The strongest signal is his highlight being a 2-yard touchdown run — modest proof of concept at best. Fans aren't buzzing; this is the kind of signing that gets noticed only on slow news days. Waters faces long odds to make the 53-man roster when training camp opens.

This signing grades out as an overpay for the Los Angeles Rams — the team is paying more than the on-field production currently warrants. Jordan's on-field performance ranks in the bottom quartile among NFL RBs, grading him as an unproven at the position. His $968K average annual value ranks as bargain money for the RB 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. Jordan is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract.
