Jacksonville’s Maurice Jones-Drew ended his holdout Sunday, without a new contract, according to a report on the NFL’s website.
The 27-year-old Jones-Drew who led the NFL with 1,606 yards rushing last year had held out with two years and $9.65 million left on his current five-year contract.
With the holdout Jones-Drew lost a $50,000 workout bonus and has accrued potential fines of $1.2 million for missing the minicamp in June as well as training camp.
Whether Jones-Drew will play much in Week 1 remains to be seen.
“The Jaguars are a better football team today than we were yesterday, and now our entire franchise can move forward together and as one,” Jaguars owner Shad Khan said in a statement. “Nothing more needs to be said.”
