Jaguars fans should be worried because Taylor isn't too optimistic about Jones-Drew showing up to camp on time. "He understands it's a young man's game. ... He's trying to use whatever leverage he has," Taylor told WJXL-AM.

Taylor stressed that Jones-Drew isn't a "greedy guy," he has been working extremely hard and will be ready when the stalemate ends. But he doesn't think Jones-Drew is going to blink unless the Jaguars come off their strong stance that they won't talk contract. "Pride gets involved," Taylor said. "Someone has to give. ... I don't think Maurice will be the first one to show his hand. Possibility it'll go into training camp or even further. ..." Meanwhile, CBSSports.com's Pete Prisco advised his Twitter followers the Jags aren't going to give. ... For what it's worth, Jones-Drew, taking part in the SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Radio Celebrity Draft Thursday morning, wouldn't comment on holding out -- beyond pointing out that
