The Facts: Following up on the ongoing story. ... While Jones-Drew’s agent is expected to meet with several teams at the NFL owners meetings this week, a league source said the league’s 2011 rushing champion thinks he is worth at least $3 million per year and is willing to wait out the market. The source said Jones-Drew might be willing to wait until late in the summer or even into the season as an injury replacement if teams aren’t willing to meet his price.

Diehards Line: We'll see how that works out for him. As Post staffer Bart Hubbuch notes, that is certainly more than teams are expected to pay at the moment for a backup running back who is 29 years old with a lot of mileage and is coming off back-to-back disappointing seasons. That could change when injuries and attrition become factors after training camps open, but somebody will have to get desperate to pay up. ... Jones-Drew missed 10 games in 2012 and averaged just 3.4 yards per carry for Jacksonville last season, a far cry from his league-best 1,606 yards on 343 rushes in 2011. The teams currently interested (albeit at a lower price than MJD is asking) are the Patriots, Steelers, Dolphins and Jets.
