Derrick Harvey is pissing Del Rio off

[Mr2Bits]

Derrick Harvey isn't making any friends in Jaguars camp. You know why? Because he hasn't signed yet and continues to hold out for a monster deal. Jack Del Rio is missed at Harvey's outrageous demands.

While Harvey is being greedy at home on his butt, Auburn stud Quinten Groves is kicking ass for the Jags and getting a ton of reps.

It really frustrates me when any drafted player does this, Gator or not.

thats def not a smart move, he should be fighting for the starting job and showing off his skills, let the big contract come in about 1-3 years

Quentin Groves said he recently spoke with fellow Jaguars rookie defensive end Derrick Harvey, who on Thursday entered Day 6 of what could be a protracted holdout over his contract.

Groves' advice was "to take his time and do what he feels will be right for him."

"He said they're getting close, and he really wants to be out here with us," Groves said. "I asked him if he was in his playbook, and he said that he was putting chairs up and walking through the chairs. He's doing pretty well right now. We're looking forward to getting him out here, and we're looking for big things out of him."

One of just two holdouts remaining from this year's draft class, Harvey drew the ire of Jack Del Rio on Wednesday, with the Jaguars' coach voicing frustration about the status of negotiations between the defensive end's representatives and the team.

Harvey's agents are believed to be seeking about $18 million in guaranteed money.

I think "guaranteed money" for NFL players is a load of :shit:

More often than not it's usually the agent that's behind situations like this. If Derrick Harvey hired Drew Rosenhaus as his, it doesn't surprise me.

He's also make me angry , sign the dang contract. He's lucky he was drafted in the 10 top period.

 

[Mr2Bits]

Harvey is the last remaining 1st round pick who hasn't signed. The Jags play tomorrow so he's already missing valuable playing time.

 

[Mr2Bits]

Jags increased their offer a day or two ago and Harvey STILL rejected it!!!!!

He's pissing me off.

 

[J-ville Gator]

If it's Harvey doing this (holding out), he is making a very stupid decision. If it's his agent, Harvey is making a very stupid decision. The fault lies squarely on Harvey.

I've heard he's getting a lot of pressure from his family members. I guess he has a lot of extended family that are relying on him for support.

I guess they're off on the contract escalators. The contract says Harvey needs to play 70% of the snaps in order to reach some escalators. The Harvey camp thinks 70% is way too high.

Harvey inked this morning. The deal is worth $33.4 million and includes $17.177 million guaranteed, according to NFL Network's Adam Schefter.

Jags play tomorrow, but don't expect him to be on the field.

 

[Leakfan12]

About time. :bananapartyhat:

I would've been doing flips in the living room if someone offered me $16 million (I think that's what I heard they offered him. Correct me if I'm wrong.). That made him sound very greedy.

JaMarcus Russell did the same thing in Oakland, and he didn't see any on-field playing tine until near the end of the season.

glad the hold out is finally over. 33 days is a long time. I remember last year, Brady Quinn went about 20 days.
