Monroe ends holdout, signs deal with Jaguars

First-round draft pick Eugene Monroe has ended a 12-day holdout by agreeing to a five-year contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Monroe, a 6-foot-5, 320-pound left tackle taken No. 8 from Virginia, could rejoin his teammates Saturday. He probably won't play in Monday night's preseason opener at Miami. Financial details of the contract weren't immediately available, but it was expected to be in line with the deal Green Bay defensive tackle B.J. Raji agreed to Thursday.
