Jacksonville Jaguars star running back has ended his 38-day holdout but does not yet have a new contract. The Jaguars 2012 odds had the OVER/UNDER regular season wins total set at 5.5 with the UNDER a -120 favorite while the Jags were listed with 20/1 odds to win the AFC South Division at Bookmaker.
ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter first reported Jones-Drew's decision.
"Just shared some love with (at)Jones-Drew32 in the locker room," Jaguars running back Rashad Jennings posted on his Twitter page. "Glad to see you back -- Let's work brah!"
Jones-Drew led the NFL last year in rushing yards while breaking the Jaguars franchise records for both rushing yards in a season and total yards from scrimmage, finishing with 1606 rushing yards.
Jones-Drew was hoping to renegotiate the final two years of a five-year that would have paid nearly $22 million the last three seasons.
"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," said his agent, Adisa Bakari.
