Ok, so lets take a break from some of the big names out there (ie Steven jackson. What about someone like Dan Conner as a depth signing? Cliff Avril perhaps?
Wouldn't mind a small deal with Shaun Phillips as a depth/rotational player. Still would like Alan Branch. Shonn Greene could be a nice complement to Harris. Brandon Myers might come cheap. Not sure if Kelvin Hayden could FS...
True that was his rookie year contract but i still think Jackson might be a bit more expensive. I just think Greeene could be a little more long term than Jax because he is a couple years younger and his best is yet to come."had" is the key word. I'm not saying I like Jackson all that much, especially if he is expensive - which he won't be - not near as much as his old contract. Wasn't that the rookie contract for Greene? If so, it would probably take more to sign him even though he hasn't been all that great.
I would like to see hm go to a contending team because he is a good player. IMO i think we have seen his best years already happen.S. Jax is likely to take a pay cut to play for a contending team because we all know the Rams aint done jack **** and frankly I don't blame him for wanting to leave and contend, he deserves it with his rushing accomplishments.

Damn, well if Jax is going for that cheap then i will say welcome aboard. And yes Jennings is asking for way too much, i wouldn't be sad if he leaves. We got a few other players better than him (in my opinion) that deserve more than him.Caserly on NFL Network this morning said Jackson will likely get about a 3 year/$12 million deal.
That's the same money per year as the Colts just gave WALDEN!
Jackson is well worth that...... the thing is, his agent is also Jennings agent, and Jennings is trying to SQUEEZE every fricking dollar from our payroll he can.
I guess his sister needs to eat.
I say tell Jennings to hit the road, go catch passes from Weeden in Cleveland or Ponder in Minny.
Rams did something we couldn't do...beat the Niners. In fact they tied them once and beat them once, us on the other hand ??? 0-2. obvioulsy they're not as bad as we think.
After the $ dries up in about a week, the Packers will pick up 2-to-3 players of Dan Connor's ilk for about 1.5mil/season.
So, I'm fully expecting the Packer's to pick up guys that will look like this:
FB P. Hillis 3-yr. $4mil
SS Bernard Pollard 3-yr. $6mil
I'd be happy with that because the safety problem has been glaring since Collins' injury and Morgan Burnett is a FS. Also, Pollard brings some size and toughness that is lacking in the secondary. Hillis goes to FB at 250 lbs. where he belongs and they save $ by cutting Kuhn...and Hillis is a better backup RB in a pinch than Kuhn IMO.

We can use that same amount of money to add Jackson and Laron Landry or James Harrison or Dashon Goldson.
I'm not in love with Jennings anymore.
Driver never tried to **** the Packers. Neither has Matthews who continues to be underpaid big time.
Javon Walker & Jennings tried to **** us. I'm not okay with that.
They are also in the same division as the 9ers and play them year in and year out. Not to mention this is an "any given sunday" league. We beat the vikes and have been doing so fairly well now for some time, yet the vikes beat the 49ers......
