Some were shocked by Chris Ivory’s demands of $6 million per year for a new deal. One team who had money to spend and a need for a power running back was the Jacksonville Jaguars and they aren’t shy in spending it to fill their needs this spring.
The 27-year-old back will sign with the Jags once the league year opens tomorrow for over $6 million per year and most likely at his desired length of a three-year deal.
