Bravo to the Jags for holding steady. Starve these guys long enough eventually they will cave in. Can't hit make it rain in the strip clubs without the bankroll.

Main reason he came back is they don't get paid in preseason, just a stipend. Ever notice most holdouts report this week. He misses all of training camp and of course isn't in game shape. Very good chance he gets hurt this year.

Yea but he still took a nice amount of fines to get nothing accomplished. I guess he really doesn't like training camp

I heard he can still be fined something like 1.25 million.

He shouldn't have signed a front-loaded contract if he was going to cry about it later.

I'm hearing they are going to enforce the fines. We'll see.... Good for the Jags. About the best move they've made in quite some time! What a joke of a franchise!

Sooner than that. He will take on the third down role immediately.
