JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Ty Law Jersey . -- The Jacksonville Jaguars plan to let veteran running back Maurice Jones-Drew test free agency. General manager Dave Caldwell said Tuesday that Jones-Drew has "earned the right" to enter the market in March. Caldwell added that the Jaguars would decide whether to match or beat another teams offer. "This is his first time, hes been a great player in this organization, hes had a great career and hes earned the right to see what his value and his market is," Caldwell said. "And its our right to decide if we want to match it and bring him back. I think thats kind of where were at now." Jones-Drew, a second-round draft pick in 2006, has 8,071 yards rushing and 68 touchdowns in eight seasons. He missed the final 10 games last season with a left foot injury and played much of this season while recovering from surgery and dealing with a strained right hamstring. The running back made it clear Monday that he wants to stay in Jacksonville, but said his decision is all about money. He just played out a five-year, $31 million contract. The deal paid him $4.95 million in 2013. Jones-Drew also acknowledged Monday that he has a number in mind, but he sounded resigned to a potential move. "Hopefully I can stay here, but thats not up to me," he said. "Its time to sit back with my family and talk and see whats best for us. I have three kids, dont want to move them around, but if thats the case, then it has to be done. Well see. There are some other variables." Last year, the free-agent market for running backs was relatively soft. Detroits Reggie Bush (4 years, $16 million), Atlantas Steven Jackson (3 years, $12 million), Buffalos Fred Jackson (3 years, $10.8 million) and Tennessees Shonn Green (3 years, $10 million) failed to land huge deals in the open market. Jones-Drew certainly will want at least something similar, if not better. Then again, hes coming off one of his worst seasons. He ran for 803 yards and five touchdowns in 2013. Critics argue that Jones-Drew, who turns 29 in March, has lost a step and hasnt been the same since gaining 1,606 yards on 343 carries in 2011. They also insist his running style -- he welcomes contact and gains most of his yards between the tackles -- will shorten his career. Others, including Jones-Drew, believe he will return to Pro Bowl form once he fully recovers from his foot injury. They also point to this being his first season running behind a zone-blocking scheme and that he lost both starting offensive tackles early in the year. Caldwell, though, sounded like the team is ready to move in another direction. "I think we need to upgrade," Caldwell said. "Were always looking to upgrade all positions. Step 2 is to raise that standard of acceptance, and we do have to address that. We always have to have a contingency plan in place for all positions." James Winchester Jersey .J.

However, after review it became clear Kadri kicked the puck in.(SportsNetwork.com) - The start of a quick Florida tour for the Washington Wizards didnt go as planned and theyll try again for their first win of the season Thursday against the Orlando Magic at Amway Center. The Wizards opened the season with Wednesdays 107-95 loss to the Miami Heat in their first game without superstar LeBron James. The Heat didnt miss a beat, at least for one night, and were led by Chris Boshs 26 points and 15 rebounds. Norris Cole and Dwyane Wade scored 23 and 21 points, respectively. Drew Gooden and Marcin Gortat scored 18 points apiece, while Paul Pierce added 17 points in his Washington debut. The Wizards struggled on the boards (44-36) and havent won a season opener since Oct. 27, 2009 against Dallas. I think we lost that game on rebounds, on the boards, Gortat said. We should fight a bit harder and stay a bit more focused on everything we do. ... Weve just got to regroup and get the game tomorrow. John Wall ended with 16 points and 11 assists for the Wizards, who were outscored by a 35-25 measure in the fourth quarter and were without guard Bradley Beal (wrist) and forwards Nene and DeJuan Blair. Both big men were serving a one-game suspension for a preseason incident and should be back Thursday. Kris Humphries is a new face in DC and shook off a balky hand to post four points in just over 13 minutes. Otto Porter led the team in scoring during the preseason with 13.0 points per game, his exact point total against Miami. Wall averaged career-highs in points (19.4 ppg), assists (8.8 apg), field goal percentage (.433) and 3-point peercentage (. Buck Buchanan Jersey. 351) last season. He led the NBA in total assists with 721. Washington was a playoff team last season and is a favorite to win the Southeast Division now that James is in Cleveland. The Wizards could be down 0-2 on the season and in division play after Thursdays game in Orlando. The Wizards will open their home schedule Saturday versus Milwaukee.

Nikola Vucevic was a beast on the boards with 23 to go along with 15 points for Orlando, which shot 38.1 percent and committed 18 turnovers for 27 New Orleans points. The toughest part for Orlando was allowing 26 offensive boards. Magic rookie guard Elfrid Payton started the game at the point with second- year PG Victor Oladipo nursing a facial fracture. Payton had four points and seven assists. It was great to get out there and play in front of family and friends, said Payton, a Louisiana native. It gives you a lot of confidence. Aaron Gordon, Orlandos other first-round draft pick, had 11 points off the bench Not much is expected from the Magic this season and theyre aiming for a sixth straight win in their home opener.
