"Jaguars tight end Marcedes Lewis will end his short holdout on Monday, reporting to camp, Lewis told the Times-Union.

"Basically they still are negotiating but I'm tired of not being with my team! And I need to be there..." Lewis said via text message.

Lewis plans on being in Jacksonville by Monday for meetings and walk-throughs until his deal is finished.

The Jaguars franchised Lewis in February and the Pro Bowl tight end signed his franchise tender in March. The franchise tag would pay him $7.3 million for a one-year deal, but Lewis does not want to play for a one-year deal. He wants a long-term deal and the Jaguars said they want to give him one.

Still, the Jaguars were unable to reach an agreement with Lewis' agent, Bus Cook, on Lewis before training camp began on Wednesday. Lewis said earlier this year he would remain in Los Angeles until he had a long-term deal. Lewis added at the time, it was not in him to miss training camp."
