Very few NFL players are able to finish a career with one team.

But the ones who hang on for a year too long and end up elsewhere often want to go back home.

That’s going to be the case for running back Maurice Jones-Drew, who is going to sign a one-day contract and retire as a member of the Jaguars next week, according to the Florida Times-Union.

Jones-Drew will hold a press conference next Tuesday along with his family at EverBank Field.

The steady running back played his first eight years with the Jaguars, going to three Pro Bowls and gaining 8,071 yards.
