According to Pro Football Weekly, Jaguars TE Marcedes Lewis is not happy about his contract situation. The Jaguars placed the franchise tag on him right before the NFL lockout, which came after Lewis' finest season in his five-year career. He set career highs in receptions (58) and yards (700) and had more touchdowns (10) than he had in his previous four seasons combined (seven). Lewis understands why the Jaguars franchised him, but he doesn't necessarily like it. "It's a catch-22, man," he said. "I want a long-term contract, and I know Jacksonville wants me there. I love playing in Jacksonville and who I work with there. But at the same time, who wants to play under a one-year contract? That's not cool. Especially when you have played five years and given your sweat, blood and tears to the team and laid it out there every Sunday, putting your body on the line. Obviously, it is what it is. I am just sitting here, being patient and trusting that we are going to get it done." Source: CBSSports
