Parker Washington Makes Case for Jaguars' WR3 Spot

The Jacksonville Jaguars addressed their third wide receiver spot in free agency, signing Dyami Brown to a one-year, $9.5 million guaranteed contract. This is sort of a "prove-it" deal for the fifth-year wideout out of the University of North Carolina.

He started his career playing behind Terry McLaurin and the other established Washington Commanders weapons. Due to a lack of opportunity, he's only garnered a 17-game average of 16 catches for 212 yards and one touchdown. Jacksonville is hoping that he can establish himself as a more consistent threat in the passing game with increased opportunity.

Unfortunately, he came along pretty slowly in training camp. In their first preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, he failed to register a target in his lone series of the night. However, he did get a designed carry for seven yards.

On the other hand, Parker Washington drew five targets and reeled in three catches, albeit for only five yards. Still, it was an encouraging sign of the trust that Jacksonville's quarterbacks have in him and a testament to his ability to make himself available.

Unlike Brown, Washington has been consistently impressive throughout training camp, regularly making plays in practice. He emerged as one of Mac Jones' favorite targets down the stretch last season, overtaking Gabe Davis in both total targets and catches on the year. He could do the same to Dyami Brown if the Jaguars' free agent acquisition doesn't step up soon.
