The Facts:
On Day 35 of Jones-Drew's holdout Wednesday, general manager Gene Smith said the Jaguars have no plans to trade him. When Smith was asked by the Times-Union if there was any chance of a trade if he doesn't show up for the regular season, he said, "Maurice is a Jaguar.' Smith was then asked, "So you are not considering trading him?" He replied, "No.' And you won't consider trading him? "He's a Jaguar,' Smith said. He was then asked what if Jones-Drew is not in camp after 10 weeks, and responded, "Maurice is a Jaguar.'

So, as Times-Union staffer Vito Stellino noted, the stalemate continues. Jones-Drew won't report unless the Jaguars give him a new deal or trade him and the Jaguars won't trade him and want him to play the final two years of his contract. It now seems likely that, barring a last minute change of his mind, Jones-Drew will be holding out when the season starts a week from Sunday in Minnesota. HC Mike Mularkey has already said that Rashad Jennings will be the starting running back in Minnesota for the opener.
