Derrick Harvey ended his 33-day holdout Wednesday after reaching agreement with the Jaguars on a five-year contract that could be worth $30 million.
His base package will be $23.8 million over the five years. The key tradeoff that ended the holdout was the ability to get $6.2 million of incentives and escalators based on playing time, a source told ESPN.com's John Clayton.
