A low-risk reserve/future flier on an unproven depth receiver. Headlines reference a preseason touchdown catch and a vague 'dynamic' label — thin media coverage overall. The reserve/future contract designation signals Williams is a camp body competing for a roster spot, not a guaranteed contributor. Fans are largely indifferent, with interest stemming mostly from his highlight-reel preseason play against the Chargers. Williams faces long odds making the 53-man roster but could earn a practice squad role in 2025.

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