The one thing Tebow can do as well as any player in the league is change the attitude in the locker room. That is clearly the first order of business in Jacksonville.

Yeah, that worked great for the Jets locker room.

I’d love to see you in black and gold, MJD. And we just so happen to have some salary cap space opening up.

Come on up to the frozen tundra MJD. I can picture him in a Packers uniform. Than again I can also picture myself in a Packers uniform…

I’m no Tebow fan but to call his season in NY “failed” like he’d started for the year and sucked it up like Sanchez did is ridiculous.

They never gave Tebow the chance to either fail or succeed.

They probably won’t get much for him in a trade, if there are any takers at all.

But can you imagine the ransom they may have gotten had they traded him at the beginning of his holdout coming off of a rushing title?

Jags can’t win. Marcedes Lewis and Mike Thomas quit on the team AFTER signing big contract extentions, Jones-Drew quits on the team because they tried to avoid the same mistake a third time.

@purpleman527 by placing MJD on IR, the Jags were able to claim a DT off of Kansas City’s practice squad. I believe they have that player’s right heading into the offseason. So, they were able to add another player, rather than just burning a roster spot on a guy who will not play this week.

I like MJD, but sad to say he doesn’t look very appealing to other teams when he fails to return after injury (and obviously did not want to). I’d want him on my team but now he brings too much attitude and unreliability to the table.

MJD is the one guy who can miss 4-6 weeks with a pimple. and then another 6-8 after he pops it. I laugh every year when somebody drafts him on their fantasy team, because i know they just made the mistake that may cost them their season. After seeing his comments about Jay Cutler not able to come back into a playoff game because of a knee injury, I can only laugh every time I see he cannot tolerate the pain enough to play. This gets old. Nobody in the league i’d rather see miss games due to injury.

Put him on the Lions, Steelers, Colts or Chargers and those teams are immediate Super Bowl contenders.

Could have signed a shorter contract.
But since he wanted security he should have honored the one he signed.

@arlingtonsynn,

This is what happens when you have the leagues leading rusher and still only win 5 games. Khan made a great decision in his 1st year as an owner. Never pay backs.

Should have held out until the 10th game, kid.

And this is what happens when you have the leading rusher in the league paid outside of the top 5 at his position.

=====================

Arian Foster led the league in rushing for the league minimum… he didn’t sit out… he didn’t complain.

“Finally, the Jaguars have cleared the roster spot and placed Jones-Drew on injured reserve.”

I don’t get it. How is putting him on IR to clear a roster spot, with one game to play, a good thing?

It makes no sense, from a football operations perspective, unless the Jags avoid paying MJD part of his salary?

I’m clueless on this move.

Some guys come back from torn ACLs and lead the league in rushing; some guys take longer to come back.”

Wow…. And MJD will wear a ___________ jersey next year?

Its painfully obvious how bad MJD wants out of Jacksonville

I predict a sly grin on Jay Cutler’s face after reading this one.
