Maurice Jones-Drew's holdout has lasted 30 days, but is starting to open up more as the season approaches.

Jacksonville will open the season against Minnesota on Sept. 9.

"I didn't think it would get to this point, from where it started," said Jones-Drew.

Jones-Drew said he has not requested a trade.

"You'd have to talk to the Jaguars about that," he said. "They're the ones who have to go through with any deal."
