New Raider Maurice Jones-Drew Says Jaguars Did Him Wrong
(3/29 12:4 PT)

The Facts:
Following up on the ongoing story. ... After waiting for 17 days for a new contract from a new team, Jones-Drew returned to California on Friday, inking a three-year contract with the Raiders. In his introductory conference call, Jones-Drew said that he’ll have a “chip on [his] shoulder,” and that “I know I felt like I was done wrong” by the Jaguars. Reported by Profootballtalk.com

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As PFT's Mike Florio suggests, it’s unclear how or why he was “done wrong.” Jones-Drew earned every dollar of a five-year, $31 million contract. Two years ago, the Jaguars opted not to give Jones-Drew a new contract after he held out in an effort to get one. Last year, he made $4.95 million -- nearly $1.5 million above the annual average at the top of the veteran market for running backs. Nonetheless, MJD has always been at his best with a chip on his shoulder. At least prior to last season, when he felt he had something to prove coming off injury. So maybe fantasy football owners shouldn't put as much stock in Jones-Drew's irritation this time around.
