Packers Want Jackson "AT THEIR PRICE"

Someone's being a negative Nancy.

or....

Expressing some Packer fan concern and/or give us a heads up.

or...

would only be satisfied by an 19-0 season every year. When it stops becoming fun for you to follow a sports team, it's probably time to re-evaluate.

I trust your not directing that at me. If you are it certainly doesn't apply.

I'm simply a Green Bay Packer fan that makes observations and when I feel it's appropriate...express concern.

I respect that Rutnstrut has that same right.

Last time I checked, San Fran hasn't won the superbowl since 1995.

The Chicago Bears are a stronger franchise than the Green Bay Packers because they've won more NFL Championships.

Is that statement true or mere conjecture?

We're as Packerrats today.... discussing today, and that every day. How that days news may impact tomorrows news in the NFL and the Green Bay Packers.

TT is not worth shit finding RB's in the draft, he's had chances in free agency to pick up guys that are actually NFL caliber RB's but he was wiffed at closing the deal

honestly, 4 million a year for a guy that gives you a whole new dimension on offense, a dimension we are sorely lacking, is almost nothing

he wanted to come here, we NEEDED him, and TT nickle and dimed him until we lost him. IMO

I'd like to determine what TT made to Steven Jackson as his bottom line.

The fact that we have a TE (Jermichael Finley) and a CB (Tramone Williams) on the books for over twice what Steven Jackson will make in Atlanta really bugs me.

I think you guys are valuing SJ way more than he is worth. He could have helped this team, but 30 other teams didn't even take a sniff at him.

On what planet is 9 more than 13????

maybe 30 other teams have better running backs then we have?

Right you are, my mistake. Green Bay has won 13 NFL Championships to the Chicago Bears 9.

I mixed up NFL Championships with HOFers.

I would have given Jackson four mil/year. But I'd have him in GB and let him know if he leaves w/o a deal we are withdrawing the offer and that may somehow get leaked. It seems like GB gets used a bit too much.

As is, I doubt we'll even know what occured. I just didn't have any faith that we'd close on this from the start

[Pugger]

Come on guys!! Let's be real here. Jackson wanted to play indoors in Atlanta. Unless TT offered him the moon - which thankfully he didn't - Jackson had no desire to come to GB. And frankly I'm glad. Jackson would have been just a stop-gap answer to our running situation. I'd prefer TT to try to find a younger back that will be around for more than 2 years.

You have to get them there to do that. And has been reported before, the agents don't like to visit if they don't know what the offer will be beforehand. If he visits the Pack and does not sign, he loses his leverage. Don't visit and keep feeding bogus info to Clayton an Schefter gets you where you want to be.

[Joemailman]

I'm thinking that it's quite possible 4 mil per year is what the Packers offered Jackson. Jackson, preferring to play in Atlanta, gave Atlanta a chance to match the offer, which they did. Of course, the only thing we know for sure is that we'll never know.
