JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The Jacksonville Jaguars have made two running back moves on the first weekend of training camp.

Maurice Jones-Drew was placed on the reserve/did not report list Saturday. Jones-Drew was the leading rusher in the NFL last season, but wants a new contract. The former UCLA Bruin has two years left on his current deal.

The Jags did signed another California running back this weekend. Will Ta'ufi'ou, a fullback from Redwood City, will wear #45 for Jacksonville this season. He has not played in a regular season game since going undrafted in 2009. The fullback has been with Chicago, Cleveland, Denver, and Tennessee. He was waived by the Titans May 1.

Ta'ufo'ou played four seasons at Cal, appearing in 49 games with 13 starts.  He had 16 career rushes for 80 yards and recorded 13 receptions for 93 yards and one touchdown.  He was an All-Pac-10 honorable mention selection as a senior.

I can't believe any Jaguar player thinks it's ok to holdout or miss anything while in a contract does he not understand that many hard working minumin wage people are buying season ticket to support their team and he wants millions more, i am retired now, make less than $2500 a month and i keep 3 seats for games all these years and i am fed up with mojo and his demands, i say bench him games even when he decides to show up and do his job. He had a good year but he isn't made of freakin gold....He should feel blessed to still have a dam'd job because many do not

Jags need to fix the problem,give him 2 more days and fine him $30,000. each day missed, have him repay the 2 yrs. hes already been paid for and drop him from the league for the next 5 yrs. due to breach of contract. This should fix Mr. Drews problem and any futhure problems any team has in the future. If this was the other way, Mojo would be all over this and willing to do exactly the same to the NFL.

I admire MJD as a player and a person but players and their managers need to learn what the meaning of a contract is and honor the terms the contract they willingly signed. Then you would think that someone who went to collage, would have at least learned the meaning behind such a simple word as contract. Then to play the devil’s advocate, if MJD truly wants a new contract, then he should also be willing to repay every cent of the signing bonus he received at the beginning of that contract and start from scratch. Until then the team should fine him for his absence in training camp, at the maximum rate legally possible. Why? Because that team right was also written into the contract both the player and team signed. Sad to see a start to the new season like this but I fully understand that the team and coach need to make the best decisions possible for the future of the team and sadly I feel MJD’s time with the team is limited, even as much as I hope that I can be proven wrong.
