3 years guaranteed. 2.3 mi per year sounds fair for both sides. Yes he has lost a bit, but the NFL is a passing league anyway now. He could really help if used right. With the guaranteed money to a 31-32 year old, that is very valuable, the Jags win, Drew wins even though it's less per year than he wants. The Jags wil be betting he can stay healthy for 3 years. In a lessor role, I think he can.

Good teams use backs differently than in the past. Good teams use their backs-

1. to keep teams honest, and not play only pass- MJD can do that. 10-15 runs max a game.

2. to block so your passing QB can throw without being killed. Somebody always misses a block. -MJD can do that.

3. Catch an occasional dump off pass- MJD can do that.

4. When it's 3rd and 2, a short yardage back is invaluable for keeping drives alive- MJD can do that really well.

 

So use him like everyone else uses their back, not as a feature back, but more in the role Fullbacks once were used at before

they became extinct. The most important thing for this team is transitioning to a passing team with a good QB. Drew could fit in nicely on a passing team.

But the days of the big contract feature RB is about gone, because their role has changed, Drew and his agent should recognize that.

If they don't, the league will remind them fairly soon. He still has value to a passing team at the right price. If Gus and Dave want a

ground attack team then they should let him go no matter the price.
