MJD: Money won't change effort: Maurice Jones-Drew signed a five-year, $31 million contract Wednesday with Jacksonville that includes $17.5 million guaranteed. The signing isn't a surprise since the Jaguars want to make Jones-Drew their featured back, a decision head coach Jack Del Rio echoed on Wednesday. "It really was a matter of wanting more Maurice," Del Rio said. "We want Maurice on the field more often. We believe he's a feature guy and it's his time. We're excited about that. I'm very confident this is the type of young man that will go out and continue to display the things that have made him so popular to begin with. He's gonna get plenty of work. We're excited about getting him the ball more often." Jones-Drew added that he won't slack off after earning this deal. "I still love the game," Jones-Drew said. "I'm going to play the way I play. Nothing's going to change. You see some guys get paid and they kind of shut it down. That's not how I was raised, that's not how I ever played the game before. I'm going to continue to play and work hard and do everything I can to help this team win."

Fantasy Analysis

We love that last quote from Jones-Drew. Typically, we frown on players signing long-term contracts because they tend to lose intensity and nurture minor injuries after a huge pay day. But we're fine with Jones-Drew signing a big deal because he's played very well with consistency for his entire career and still has a chip on his shoulder about being taken in the second round. Although his rushing average has dipped in each of his three seasons, he's been wildly productive: At least 1,100 total yards and nine total touchdowns each year. So long as he remains part of the Jaguars passing attack and a threat at the goal line -- both jobs he should carry -- expect Jones-Drew to thrive. We love him as a No. 1 Fantasy RB who should be drafted in the early first round of every league in 2009.
