Steven Jackson On Trade Block

[LegandofthePack15]

With Benson on the IR and the running game going nowhere, the Packers should definitely trade for Jackson. While he's no longer an all-pro runner, Jackson could and would revive the Pack's run game.

But we all know Steven Jackson in Green and Gold ain't gonna happen . Thompson loves draft picks more than a capitalist loves greed, err, profit.

Why would we trade for a declining running back at 9 mill a season and wants another pay day? We need the cash to resign our own and this line can't block for sh*t anyways

No.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Absolutely no.

Mort And Schefter said that three teams were actively making offers to STL for Jackson. The 3 were AZ, Pitt, and GREEN BAY. GB was e most active. The Packers were deemed the leading contender if STL follows thru with in trading him.

Only if they can manage to swing a package deal that involves Joe Thomas.

[ThunderDan]

What is his remaining contract and what do they want for him?

[Joemailman]

What is his remaining contract and what do they want for him?

7 million dollar base the year. Next year, 7 million dollar base with 1.9 mil signing bonus.

Don't know what they're asking.

Really? I did not hear or see that someone reported active discussions.

Did they have sources outside of Jackson's agent? Because this seems far away from the normal business mode.

Nfl network said they are requesting no less than a 2nd round pick, and they specifically said "but for a team like green bay they'd want a number 1."

According to Mike Sando, the NFC West blogger, "Any team acquiring Jackson would most likely absorb more than $3 million in remaining salary for the 2012 season." Plus, Jackson and the Rams "agreed to let Jackson opt out of his contract following the 2012 season."

3 million bucks to rent a pretty good rb for the rest of the season is pretty good value for a SB contender, especially one that can't seem to run the damn ball. The Packers have plenty of cap room.

As much as I would love to see Jackson play for the Pack, the odds are, it won't happen. 3 reasons:

1. Thompson hates giving up draft picks, plain and simple.
2. Thompson hates giving up draft picks for a player who would likely only play under a 1 year contract (see Randy Moss).
3. Never count Thompson to get anything done when it comes to in-season trades (See Marshawn Lynch and Tony Gonzalez).

Well we DID trade for Gonzalez but the KC GM said after we agreed to a 2nd round pick wanted more. This would be a fantastic back for this offense.

Dude! Guys! I was at the stadium club and I went out to have a cig and you wouldn't believe it! Pigs were flying around the Lambeau field! It was awesome. Steven Jackson was there and everything.

Nope, won't happen - a 2nd rounder - no way. TT would never give up that high of a pic. 4th rounder - I might think about it, but I think TT wouldn't even do it. Maybe a player and a low draft pick, but I can't even see that with the injuries right now.

But the Packers have to do something about their run game, whether it's changing the plays, or what I'd suggest, is getting Starks more carries. Rogers can't do it all and they need something to fall back on if the passing game has another day like today (drops, Rogers off his game, etc.). This o-line can't be that bad, especially behind Bulaga and Sitton - come to think of it, did they even try to run to the right today. I remember most of the runs to the left. Anyway, there was no run game today - none, what so ever. Green isn't the answer.

Also, maybe it's time to start EDS over Saturday if he's the reason they can't run up the middle.

I think Thompson was willing to give up a 3rd but KC upped it to a 2 at the last second. I could be wrong but I don't think KC was asking for a 1st. Would trade a 2nd for Gonzalez back then in a heartbeat.
