Jaguars’ Maurice Jones Drew still wants a new deal

Maurice Jones Drew is set to make 4.45 million dollars in 2012 in the 4th year of a 5 year deal, but he knows how short running backs’ careers can be so he wants the Jaguars to give him a new extension now, with 2 years left on his old one. The situation is not dissimilar to Chris Johnson’s last offseason, though there are no guarantees MJD will hold out as long as CJ2K. For now, however, he’s skipping voluntary team workout and OTAs and has entertained the possibility of skipping mandatory minicamp in June. MJD is the entirety of the Jaguars’ offense so they obviously hope they can get him into camp without having to pay him.
