Originally posted on A to Z Sports | By Josh Queipo | Last updated 2/7/24

The NFL's regular season is over, which for most teams, means it's time to start figuring out plans for the offseason.

NFL free agency is a huge part of the process, and along with the NFL Draft, it has everyone preparing for what should be a very active couple of months.

We've officially come up with our own contract projections for the NFL's top free agents that include context behind each player's 2023 season, the likelihood of a franchise tag, the projection itself, and the first-year cap hit for a team that's “all-in” and is needing to reduce that first-year hit in order to maximize their cap dollars.

So, without further ado, let's check out the projection for Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver/kick returner, Jamal Agnew.

Jamal Agnew 2024 Contract Projection

Agnew’s greatest value comes from his abilities as a returner, where he has garnered an All-Pro and a Pro Bowl nod since 2017. Last year, he ranked fifth in kick return average and ninth in punt return average.

What has been most impressive with Agnew is his development as an offensive weapon. Drafted as a defensive back, Agnew has switched to the offensive side of the ball, and despite limited touches, he's maintained a 70%+ catch rate over the past two years, along with a mark of 1.67 yards per route run and four touchdowns.

He has shown an ability to contribute as a gadget player who gets schemed touches, which provides additional versatility to his roster spot. But above all else, Agnew is a potential home run every time he touches the ball - and that explosiveness should keep him employed.

Franchise Tag Likelihood: Low
Projected Contract: 1 year, $4.25M, $4.25M APY, $2.5M GTD
Year One Cap Hit: $2.05M
