Jags Owner Is Moving Forward, Mjd Is Up For Trade

I would bring him on and switch out him, Turner, and Rodgers. Antone Smith ST. Cut Cox and make Snelling a full time FB. Run it.

Is this the twilight zone??? Or is this really happening? Link?

Now the holdout for @Jones_Drew32 shows no signs of letting up and is fully expected to extend into the regular season.

In light of Jaguars owner Shad Khan's recent public remarks, Jacksonville's RB Maurice Jones-Drew is now open to being traded, per source.

I'm backing Kahns side on this one. MJD has no leverage and is going to end up owing a ton of money to the Jags while just getting older and making people less likely to give him a long term deal.

[Atlfanstckndenver 2,466]

Looks like it is true. Its on espn!!! It must be!!! This will only happen if they aren't demanding too much. I could see them asking for too much in return only. I just cant see a running back fetching too much on the trade market at this point. I still don't see it happening but hey....BRING HIM HOME TD.

Turner and a pick and we are a bonafide SB contender.

[UnrealfalcoN 3,653]

MJD can mask the weaknesses of O line play, but this is just a pipe dream and he would still want to get paid here

Watch, this will be the one J-ville connection we won't get

Jones-Drew is open for a trade,but Khan won't do that.

MJD made Koetter look good.

[Carl927 3,376]

There's gotta be a catch. They probably want you to take Mularkey, too.

[Peyton 21,045]

The source doesn't say that Jacksonville is open to a trade, it says Jones-Drew is open to a trade. Of course he is.

[Matt Ryan Tutor 105]

This wont happen but I very surprised that the jags are going to let there most productive player in recent years to be traded like that. I wish we could get him though....

[Bleed-Black&Red 58]

I say trade turner and snelling for mjd.. then pick up either anthony dixon from san francisco or chris ivory from the new orleans saints

[Atlfanstckndenver 2,466]

haha!!

[Dirtybirdn@tion 356]

BRING HIM HOME TD!

[kane#7 4,234]

I would dance on the spot...

Turner + a pick get it done.

They won't.

If MM is included, in the deal. Let's turn our heads and runaway very fast.

Yeah.

I am generally not in favor of guys holding out PERIOD..butI can understand the last year of a contract in a way.

But when you have 2 years left that is going to pay 10-15 million........holding out is plain selfish.

[jesushchristo 223]

Pipe. Dream. - IF he goes any where - he'll end up in Pittsburgh or something.

[MSalmon 10,584]

If you are TD, youve got to consider this as a trade possibility. For one the swap of malarkey for koetter is a factor. Both players know the schemes of their former teams. Second Drew is 27 and. A far more versatile back--he's an upgrade from Turner. Lastly youve got to wonder if a turner for MJD swap with us throwing in a third isnt a possibility. It kinda works for both teams. The jags get a guy with this year and next on contract, that fits MM's philosophy, plus a decent pick. We'd have to extend Drew, but odds are **** be good at least another 3 years--if the contract was structured right, the cap hit wouldn't be bad.

But Seriously a running back rotation of MJD, Quizz and Snelling is a versatile one. You get a nice mixture of power, speed and shiftiness; and all 3 backs have great hands. The hands part is huge, as Turner is not a threat in pass game.

[Guest Fibonacci/Mashburn]

I see a smashing grab from all of us to go get him. but just a few questions.

how much does he want?

and what makes you think he would live up to his new contract with us towards the end?

[FalconFanSince1970 22,762]

Mularkey won't get cut.

If we can get MJD for Turner and a low round pick I'm down.
