The Facts:

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As PFT's Mike Florio suggests, it’s a win for the Jaguars. Agent Adika Bakhari declined comment on the question of whether Jones-Drew received any concessions or inducements to report, which means at a minimum that Jones-Drew didn’t get a new deal, or an adjustment to his existing one. At most, Jones-Drew can hope for a waiver or reduction of his fines, which at $30,000 per day exceed $1.1 million. That’s nearly 25 percent of his $4.45 million base salary in 2012. Of course, if he hadn’t reported this week, Jones-Drew wouldn’t have been able to earn the first installment of his $4.45 million base salary, which is paid out in 17 checks of $261,764.70 each. ... Now we'll all be watching to see how fast Jones-Drew can get up to speed. At this point, all indications are Rasahd Jennings will be the starter for the team's Week 1 game against the Vikings.
