And then we'll come back to the fact that Jackson is a better player and far less injury prone.
I get your point, but I just don't see how it could be better. You sound like someone who would eat wallpaper paste every day to eventually die with a huge savings account. No offense intented, and you make good points, but I don't see how you see those one year prove it contracts as big free agent signings. Or how, with our RBs your main point was that it'd hinder the growth of one of our running backs, but we're now somehow talking about saving money on FA signings.
We're consistently among the youngest teams with, relative to other competetive teams, quite a bit of cap room. I agree with you that quite a bit will be used towards signings Aaron Rodgers and CMIII, but one of two signings like a Jackson, Woodson, Boldin, Pickett, Welker, Talib, Dansby, Rolle, Posluszny... Those are just some of the top of my head. You're not going to get very far when you're trying to fill all kinds of gaps with FAs, but you can work out the little kinks.
Btw, broken down cast-offs? Scott Wells? How? And how did the Hargrove and Saturday signings really hurt us?
Lastly, I'm aware of Woodson's history. Steven Jackson wasn't a $8 million a year, high valued free agent, either. He's a RB nearing the end of his career... But he could be the piece that puts this team over the top and he didn't come at too bad a price.
