Thread: Will the Jaguars have trouble signing first-round pick Derrick Harvey?

Makes the Jared Allen deal look even sweeter!

That was a horrible article. Obviously the hardest to sign will be the first rounder. It doesn't make the Allen deal look sweeter at all. The reasoning they have for a possible holdout is absolute bullshit. Harvey is no more likely to holdout than any other high draft pick at this point in time.

Thanks for the read my friend.

Harvey is represented by Ken Kremer of CAA football, an agency that includes Tom Condon, who represented former Jaguars quarterback Byron Leftwich when he was a holdout in 2003.

I would like to see someone do a extensive article on player agents which would include information on how many agents have players that hold out (rookie and vet alike).
It would be a interesting article if someone had the time to do it.

Who gives a shit. Allen is signed and ready to go! We are and will always be one step ahead with him then we would with Harvey.

Of course theres trouble signing the kid Harvey. Hes a top ten draft pick.
Its not like its a veteran holdout.
And most people havent signed yet. Sometimes when you play poker you wait for your move......

Still not signed...Del Rio must be fuming.

What do they have to worry about? They have Troy Williamson.

A month later and he's STILL not signed.
Meanwhile, Allen in in camp rockin' tha house.
I'd say it gets sweeter by the day.

And it STILL has nothing to do with Allen, or the Vikings.

You might as well post the other first round holdouts as well.

It's been a couple years since we've had to deal with the "First Round Hold-out."

Peterson's contract negotiation went pretty smoothly and we didn't have a pick this year.

If nothing else, at least we can look at the Jags and laugh.
