Jacksonville Jaguars general manager Gene Smith told the Florida Times-Union on Wednesday that he has no intentions of trading holdout running back Maurice Jones-Drew.

"Maurice is a Jaguar," Smith told the newspaper before the team's annual Kickoff Luncheon.

Asked if he'd consider dealing the 2011 NFL rushing leader, Smith said, "No."

Jones-Drew entered Day 35 of his holdout Wednesday. The star running back wants a new deal after leading the league with 1,606 yards rushing last season. He has two years remaining on a five-year, front-loaded contract worth $31 million. He is scheduled to make $4.45 million this season and $4.95 million in 2013.

Earlier this month, Jaguars owner Shad Khan said MJD's absence from training camp "doesn't even move the needle" in terms of stress. He reiterated his stance by saying, "This is not a team about one person," then telling Jones-Drew, "Train's leaving the station. Run, get on it."

The comments didn't sit well with the running back, and sources close to the situation told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter that Jones-Drew was open to being traded.

"Maurice wants to play for an organization that wants him and for an owner who respects him and values what he brings to a team -- on the field, in the locker room and in the community," his agent, Adisa Bakari, said.

Asked about his comments Wednesday by the Times-Union, Khan told the newspaper, "I want to be honest and truthful.

"I have absolutely no regrets."

Khan and Smith insist they have no plans to negotiate a new deal with MJD, not wanting to set a precedent of paying players with two years remaining on lucrative deals that included large signing bonuses.
