| 29th July, 2005 - 11:28 pm |  St. Paul Pioneer Press - The Jacksonville Jaguars signed a three-year contract extension with safety Donovin Darius on Friday.
Darius will get the same $4.97 million he was due this year as a franchise player, and without going into specifics, indicated he will take less the next three years.
"I'm excited about it because I have the opportunity to play my career here where it all began," Darius wrote on the team's Web site message board Friday. "The two sides sat down and expressed their desire and what they needed for it to be done and that was it. The deal that is great for me and fair for the organization."
Darius drew critism from coach Jack Del Rio after skipping a mandatory minicamp in April and has apologized to the organiazation and fans for his mini-holdout.
"I look forward to turning this thing around with what we started from last year," Darius wrote on the message board. "Signing the deal just means that now I can continue to do what I've been doing for some time to come. It also allows me to work with some of the younger guys and show them the ropes as guys like Carnell Lake did for me." [READ] |
