Football Betting Lines

08/27/2008 - Jacksonville, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Defensive end Derrick Harvey has reportedly ended his 33-day holdout, and has agreed to a deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars that could be worth more than $33 million. Harvey was the last rookie holdout in the NFL.

The Florida Times-Union reported on its web site on Wednesday morning that Harvey and the Jags had agreed on a contract worth $17.175 million in guaranteed money that, including incentives and escalators, could reach $33.4 million.

According to the paper the last details that held up the contract involved playing time incentives, which the Jaguars downscaled from playing 70 percent of the team's defensive snaps to a range of 55 percent to 75 percent in order for Harvey to earn the incentives.

The Jaguars traded up to the No. 8 spot in the draft to take Harvey, a 6- foot-5, 271-pound defensive end out of Florida. Jacksonville had to deal the 26th overall pick, two third-round picks and a fourth-rounder to get the eighth selection from Baltimore.

A Greenbelt, Maryland native, Harvey recorded 8 1/2 sacks in his junior year with the Gators. According to the Times-Union Harvey was scheduled to head to Jaguars headquarters in Jacksonville on Wednesday for a physical, and then would try to join the team for its flight to Washington for Thursday's preseason finale against the Redskins.
