It is the Jaguars’ other defensive end, second-year man Derrick Harvey, who is facing the greatest expectations. With Spicer gone, Harvey...

First Round Draft Pick Derrick Harvey Signs With Jaguars

Wed, 27 Aug 2008 12:45:40 -0500

Woohoo! Harvey will get $17.175 million in guaranteed money, $23.8 million in base package and $33.4 million in max package, including incentives and escalators. Jaguars fans everywhere (even the ones like me who rush to the computer lab between classes instead of getting lunch) give a great sigh of

Del Rio blames Harvey’s Agent for Holdout

Thu, 21 Aug 2008 13:44:39 -0500

Jack Del Rio isn't holding it against Derrick Harvey. On The Jack Del Rio Show Tuesday evening on WOKV, the head coach said that the lack of a contract for the first round pick wasn't the fault of the former Gator, but instead, it's all about Harvey's agent, Ken Kremer. "Obviously, it has gone on quite a while and there's a great deal of money that's gone by right now," Del Rio said. "Quite frankly, I think its more about the agent than the player. When you look at the numbers, it doesn't make sense for anyone expect the agent building a client base for next year." Those comments?Del Rio's first public words on the Harvey situation in weeks?mirror the comments by defensive end Paul Spicer on Monday urging Harvey to "put away the toys, be a man" and get the deal done. It's clear that both coach and player want Harvey in camp and both seem to think that the reported gap in the deal (around $1 million in guaranteed money) is too small to quibble over. Both also recognize the Jaguars need to get Harvey in camp so he can help out the pass rush that was ineffective Saturday night against the Dolphins. Harvey has set a Jaguars team record for the longest rookie holdout in team history. Even if he signed today, he wouldn't be ready to play Saturday in Tampa, and at earliest, he could potentially see some action a week from Thursday against Washington.

JAGS AND HARVEY

Mon, 04 Aug 2008 19:10:52 -0500

The Jags need to get Derrick Harvey in camp, but not at the expense of overpaying for his services. This article from the Florida Times Union clearly lays out both sides of the story. The missing bit of information, though, is that the agent wants a deal closer to Gholston's and the Jags want a deal closer to Mayo's.

Gholston's deal was done by CAA and Harvey is represented by CAA. So naturally they want a similar deal that looks and feels like the one they have already done.

This one is not going to get settled soon, unless the Jags cave (and I doubt they will). As for the Bengals, when it comes to contracts, it is the same story. The Bengals have their number and won't move or be moved by the deals around them.

Monday Morning Hangover: Bengals Camp, Week 2, Begins

Mon, 04 Aug 2008 09:43:14 -0500

Keith Rivers is falling behind due to his holdout, says defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer. Progress on a deal for No. 9 still appears to hinge on No. 8 Derrick Harvey getting inked in Jacksonville. Pro Football Weekly thinks it may be a while before that happens. Not surprisingly, some observers are getting their panties in a [...]

Jags Accused of Lowballing Harvey

Sun, 03 Aug 2008 11:35:32 -0500

Any deal with Bengals' first-round pick LB Keith Rivers is apparently stalled until the guy just ahead of him, Jacksonville DE Derrick Harvey signs. In an interview with the Florida Times-Union, Harvey's agent, Ken Kremer, says the problem is that the Jaguars are lowballing his client. Kremer said the Jaguars waited for the market to be [...]

TGIF: Jags, Harvey ‘Getting Close’

Fri, 01 Aug 2008 08:47:28 -0500

Jacksonville's prodigal rookie DE, Derrick Harvey, told fellow rookie DE Quentin Groves that he and the Jaguars were getting close to a deal. That would nail down both the floor and ceiling for AWOL Bengals LB Keith Rivers and likely spur getting him into camp. The Bengals hold their annual intrasquad scrimmage tonight. Just a week into [...]
