Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
A fourth-year veteran, Jones-Drew was seeking an extension that would make him among the league’s highest-paid players at his position. Jones-Drew hoped to use the six-year, $49.3 million deal ($29.3 million in the first four years) signed by St. Louis running back Steven Jackson as the baseline for his possible extension. According to Times-Union staffer Michael C. Wright, Jones-Drew’s new deal is believed to fall in the $8-million-per-year range.
