The holdout that wasn't supposed to be is over!

Yes, more Jaguars stuff.

Matt Jones said what every rookie says on draft day. "There will be no holdout. I'm anxious to get in camp. I'm happy to be a XXXXXXXXXX!" (XXXXXXXXXX = team that just drafted him).

So we started training camp, and Matt Jones is nowhere to be found, his agent still hammering out his contract with the team. In his defense, all rookies say what he said, and most unknowingly lie. They speak before they know the endeavor their agent is about to embark on. This guy, more than most though, couldn't afford to be missing camp. He was a college quarterback and is trying to make it in the NFL as a wide receiver. He's going to need help! Well, the bleeding has been stopped and sometime early this morning, the deal got done and he should be reporting to work today, hopefully making the team's gamble on him in the first round look more like genius than an act of total stupidity.
