not really...but similar. before it was just a holdout for Maurice Jones-Drew. now the face of the franchise is open to be traded after his owner, Shahid Khan, openly commented about the situation by sayin, "Train's leaving the station. Run, get on it."
MJD led the league in rushin last year with 1,606 yards. now with 2 years left on his contract, he's holdin out to be the highest paid back in the league. with other big name runningbacks like Arian Foster, LeSean McCoy, Chris Johnson, Adrian Peterson, Stephen Jackson, and Marshawn Lynch gettin paid...i guess MJD wants to get paid more than that. even though i think he has lived up and more to his contract, this is not the way to do business. you sign a contract, agreein to it's terms and payments. regardless if you surpassed it or underachieve, unless stated so, you'll still get paid. however if a contract states that if you do well, we'll renegotiate or if you do poor, we can take our money back - then that's different. but if you got 2 more years left, why not just play it out? then you'll DEFINITELY have the rights and upper hand in any negotiations...especially if you perform well
i just don't see this endin well for the Jacksonville Jaquars. i mean, they weren't gonna go anywhere anyway but i have a feelin that the owner didn't get rich by givin into people's demands...
g'luck MJD!
