MJD is back

[Questfor6]

Flashing all over ESPN that MJD has reported to the Jags. Hopefully they make him pay all his fines for holding out.

Not sure why you would hope that.
MJD is a great player and the reason the Jags sold tickets last season.

Because his holdout didn't accomplish anything he basically just sat out preseason for nothing while the rest of his teammates tried to learn their new offense. Don't get me wrong MJD is a great player but the holdout was an ignorant move.

So tired or hearing about the "It's just business" decisions for being the reason players choose to challenge their contracts, especially after they've been given a big contract extension already.

How about making "honor" decisions? MJD was guaranteed $17.5M in bonus money... has been paid the bulk of his 2009 contract extension in the first years of that contract. RB production can fall off at any time. Chris Johnson is a great, recent example of that, after getting a big-money contract extension.

How about considering the team, Maurice? How about considering your teammates, Maurice? How about considering the fans, Maurice? You had a good year rushing last year... Yes... but you didn't do it alone. The team paid for the support players you were given to help you have a productive season.

His BIG contract extension in 2009:

Jones-Drew signs $31M deal

Maurice Jones-Drew agreed Wednesday to an extension that will make him one of the three highest-paid running backs in football.

Jones-Drew signed a four-year extension, that makes for a five-year deal worth $31 million. A $17.5 million signing bonus in guaranteed [pay], sources told ESPN.com.

​

And this year he holds out again, mid-contract? BS!!! Tired of these "me first" holdout players. I couldn't care less how MJD tries to spin the supposed "righteousness" of his actions, it's just not respectable, IMO.
