First Down: MJD demands trade, Jennings commands attention | Roto Arcade - Yahoo! Sports
Over the past several weeks the fantasy community has waited on pins and needles for the return of its rush king.
Sadly, it doesn't appear he will emerge from his self-imposed exile anytime soon.
In a stunning turn of events, Maurice Jones-Drew, who's prolonged holdout was thought to be ending soon, openly expressed his displeasure regarding comments Shad Kahn made recently about his All-Pro's monetary demands. In a bold move, plucked from the pages of the Prima Dona Handbook, the rusher voiced his desire to get out of Jacksonville...immediately. From the AP:
Jones-Drew's agent, Adisa Bakari, told The Associated Press on Tuesday that the Jacksonville Jaguars running back is upset with owner Shad Khan's recent public comments about his client's 27-day holdout.
''Maurice wants to play for an organization that wants him and for an owner who respects him and values what he brings to a team - on the field, in the locker room and in the community,'' Bakari said.
''Train's leaving the station. Run, get on it,'' Khan said.
Bakari made it clear that those statements don't sit well with Jacksonville's biggest star.
''Obviously, he's not happy that what started as a very cordial and private conversation is now public and contentious,'' Bakari said.
