In the NFL, working under the salary cap isn’t all about managing who a general manager gives big deals to, but it’s also about getting good players on value contracts. A lot of times these contracts can be short-term deals that are up in one or two years.
One player who fits this description on the Jags roster is Marvin Jones Jr., who the team signed last season on a two-year deal worth $12.5 million. After signing that deal, he ended up proving to be a smart investment by leading the team in receiving with four touchdowns.
As a result, Pro Football Focus listed Jones’ contract as the best value contract on the whole roster as he gelled well with quarterback Trevor Lawrence.
