The Jacksonville Jaguars plan to let veteran running back Maurice Jones-Drew
test free agency. General manager Dave Caldwell said Tuesday that Jones-Drew has
"earned the right" to enter the market in March. Caldwell added that the Jaguars
would decide whether to match or beat another teams offer. "This is his first
time, hes been a great player in this organization, hes had a great career and
hes earned the right to see what his value and his market is," Caldwell said.
"And its our right to decide if we want to match it and bring him back. I think
thats kind of where were at now." Jones-Drew, a second-round draft pick in 2006,
has 8,071 yards rushing and 68 touchdowns in eight seasons. He missed the final
10 games last season with a left foot injury and played much of this season
while recovering from surgery and dealing with a strained right hamstring. The
running back made it clear Monday that he wants to stay in Jacksonville, but
said his decision is all about money. He just played out a five-year, $31
million contract. The deal paid him $4.95 million in 2013. Jones-Drew also
acknowledged Monday that he has a number in mind, but he sounded resigned to a
potential move. "Hopefully I can stay here, but thats not up to me," he said.
"Its time to sit back with my family and talk and see whats best for us. I have
three kids, dont want to move them around, but if thats the case, then it has to
be done. Well see. There are some other variables." Last year, the free-agent
market for running backs was relatively soft. Detroits Reggie Bush (4 years, $16
million), Atlantas Steven Jackson (3 years, $12 million), Buffalos Fred Jackson
(3 years, $10.8 million) and Tennessees Shonn Green (3 years, $10 million)
failed to land huge deals in the open market. Jones-Drew certainly will want at
least something similar, if not better. Then again, hes coming off one of his
worst seasons. He ran for 803 yards and five touchdowns in 2013. Critics argue
that Jones-Drew, who turns 29 in March, has lost a step and hasnt been the same
since gaining 1,606 yards on 343 carries in 2011. They also insist his running
style -- he welcomes contact and gains most of his yards between the tackles --
will shorten his career. Others, including Jones-Drew, believe he will return to
Pro Bowl form once he fully recovers from his foot injury. They also point to
this being his first season running behind a zone-blocking scheme and that he
lost both starting offensive tackles early in the year. Caldwell, though,
sounded like the team is ready to move in another direction. "I think we need to
upgrade," Caldwell said. "Were always looking to upgrade all positions. Step 2
is to raise that standard of acceptance, and we do have to address that. We
always have to have a contingency plan in place for all positions."
