Rodriguez Signs $10M Deal with Jaguars

On April 3rd, Chris Rodriguez Jr. that six-round running back from the Washington Commanders

just inked a two-year, $10 million deal.

With the Jacksonville Jaguars, after stepping up big time late in the season, the Commanders

decided not to tender him an offer as a restricted free agent, letting him hit the market.

The Jags jumped on a quick, handing him a $4 million signing bonus and $6.2 million guaranteed.

They needed depth after losing Travis ETN Jr. to the New Orleans Saints in Free Agency,

and Rodriguez fits right in with his steady production.

Meanwhile, the Commanders went a different route, grabbing Rashad White and Jerome Ford

on cheaper deals to bolster their backfield.

Fans in DC were hyped for more Rodriguez, especially when rookie Jekori Kroski, merit

struggled, but the front office saw it as smart business.

Head coach Dan Quinn is all-in, calling Rodriguez a tremendous fit for Jacksonville.

The fresh start for the 2023 draft pick, who grinded hard to stay relevant and never

let them down when called upon.

Rodriguez aims to build on that momentum, and avoid the path of wide-out Dyami Brown,

who bounced to the Jags last year before circling back to Washington.

Keep an eye on him, carving out a real role down in Duval County.
