The Jacksonville Jaguars raised eyebrows in free agency when they gave Dyami Brown a one-year deal worth $10 million. Sure, they needed help at receiver but seemingly had better options at the time. Having said that, the fifth-year veteran has wasted no time proving that the Jaguars got a game-changer.

Brown led all Jaguars receivers in the opener with 52 yards. He's followed that up with a better performance against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2.

Aside from reeling in an 18-yard dot from Trevor Lawrence, he also caught a touchdown pass to cap off a nine-play, 69-yard drive to open the game and put the Jaguars up 7-0.

On the following drive, the Jaguars defense forced the Cincinnati offense to punt, so you could make the case that they're off to a good start. The Jacskonville offense got the ball back, and it looked like it was going to score the second touchdown of the day. However, Lawrence threw an interception.

Why the Jaguars are getting bang or the buck with Dyami Brown

Circling back to the Jaguars' decision to sign Dyami Brown, it was a bit puzzling because he was mostly a non-factor early in his NFL career, and it was only until 2024, a contract year, that he put it all together. Heck, he logged a combined 29 receptions for 476 yards in his first three seasons. Last year alone, he hauled in 30 receptions for 308 yards with one touchdown.

However, general manager James Gladstone was confident that Brown was going to build off his strong end to 2024. So far, he's proven to be right.

Brown made a strong impression in the offseason program, and that carried over into training camp. Then again, the Jags weren't going to truly find out what they have in the former North Carolina Tar Heel until the regular season began. Two games in, he's been everything they've bargained for and then some.

It's also worth noting that even if Brown had gotten off to a slow start, the fact that Jacksonville signed him to a one-year deal protects them in case he fails to live up to expectations. Conversely, he'll be able to cash in when he once again hits the open market in 2026.

By now, it's abundantly clear that the Jaguars ended up getting a playmaker and managed to save up a bit of money along the way.
