Wouldn’t be surprised if things move very quickly between #Raiders & MJD. Still lives in the area. Heard he’s slimmed down considerably too

According to recent reports, Jones-Drew is looking for a team that will pay him around $3 million a season. Last season with the Jaguars, he rushed for 803 yards on 234 carries. He also chipped in another 314 yards via 43 receptions.
Jones-Drew just turned 29 this past Sunday and will be entering his ninth year in the league after being drafted by the Jaguars in the second round of the 2006 NFL Draft out of UCLA.
