The Facts:
Jordan agreed last month to take a $3 million roster bonus, instead of the $4.75 million he was due, to avoid the likelihood of getting cut. He thought about testing the free-agent market but stuck with the sure money -- like it or not. "Make no mistake about it: I'm not happy about it all," Jordan said. "But really, at this point, there's nothing I could do about it."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Jordan's season ended Nov. 19 with a left knee injury. He recently started running and expects to be ready for training camp. He will compete with free-agent pickup Dominic Rhodes for the starting job. ... For what it's worth, Jordan is taking Rhodes' presence in stride. "With my power and my speed and his quickness, we could be a nice little tandem," Jordan said. "I'm not afraid of competition. The way I see it, it's my job until the coaches give it to somebody else. ..." Which is a possibility. We'll be watching.
