Packers Want Jackson "AT THEIR PRICE"

[Brandon494]

I would have liked to have Jackson but not really that concerned being RB is the easiest position to fill in the NFL. I'm more concerned with us not going after any defensive players.

true it is one of the easiest positions to fill

but its been one of the hardest for us to fill over the years

Well super Ted fucks up again, but I'm sure it will all be fine because Rodgers is the QB.

Would have been nice, but no big deal.
I'd rather we found a way to keep Jennings.

True, this draft class has some nice RB prospects so hopefully TT will pick the right guy this time around.

Steven Jackson in Green Bay was IMO the glamour signing at RB in Free Agency. We didn't get him. Atlanta fans are likely estatic and I'm envious. I feel we deserved something to cheer about.

It's early in Free Agency. I remain 'somewhat hopeful' that Ted Thompson will make a move to make us cheer.

Sorry if that post doesn't seem over exuberant. In regards to Ted Thompson and Free Agency. I'm a realist and don't expect much.

Blog post on other possible alternatives. How about Ahmad Bradshaw? http://www.acmepackingcompany.com/2013/3/14/4105244/2013-nfl-free-agency-packers-rb-strategy-after-the-steven-jackson

I'll pretend that TT acts like this:

Let me see that list.

You won't feel so bad when Green Bay steamrolls Atlanta in the playoffs next year.

D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has provided the details of Steven Jackson's new three-year contract in Atlanta. The report states that "his deal with the Falcons is for $12 million with $4 million guaranteed."

Seriously, Jackson is great but he does have a lot of miles on him. Montee Ball would be fine with me!

I wouldn't be surprised to find out GB was offering closer to 3 mil per.

nailed it

shitty that TT couldn't do that, little amount for that talent

not only do we not get him, which i can learn to live with, but he went to a team that is between us and the superbowl and made them better

while we have gotten worse this offseason, or stayed the same at best, so far

I wanted them to sign Jackson, but on not over disappointed they didn’t. Lets face it, the guy is a 30 yr old back. He would have to beat the odds to be productive going forward.

[MJZiggy]

That's circular reasoning.

I like it and the flavor of the evening to celebrate will be chocolate cheesecake pie. If you've never had it, it's because you haven't visited. Now where were we? Oh. Dammit! I wanted a runner that could free up the passing game a little. Who else is out there?

We should rename this thread "Steven Jackson Wants Falcons "AT HIS PRICE" and he got it. And them. I would have signed that deal, not going to lie.

But as someone said on the radio today, the beat writer for the Rams had Jackson pegged for the Falcons before the Combine ended. Eugene just had to give them a little shove with the Packers offer.
