Two-year deal The Jaguars are signing former Washington RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. to a two-year, $10 million deal with $6.2M guaranteed, per The Insiders. Rodriguez gets $6.2M fully guaranteed and can make up to $12M with incentives on a deal done by Michael Perrett of Priority Sports. (Tom Pelissero on X) FF Today's Take: With Travis Etienne now in New Orleans, it appears Bhayshul Tuten and Rodriguez will be the main pieces in the Jacksonville running back room. Rodriguez played in 12 games last season for the Commanders but shared time with Jacory Croskey-Merritt. He played in college under HC Liam Coen while the two were at Kentucky.

The deal includes another $2 million in incentives. Rodriguez was a restricted free agent and the Commanders chose not to tender him. That Rodriguez locked in a two-year deal right after the official start of free agency suggests the Commanders should have considered keeping him around. For now, Rodriguez is set to split the Jacksonville backfield with Bhayshul Tuten. The Jags will likely give Tuten first crack at the starting gig, but both backs will be involved barring another addition. Rodriguez profiles as the traditional meat and potatoes grinder, with Tuten in charge of home runs and pass-catching duties. Rodriguez will likely open early fantasy drafts as an RB4.

Running back Chris Rodriguez was not tendered as a restricted free agent by the Commanders and he's found a new place to play.
