What do you think?
Green Bay should be all over this if they can get him for a 5th-6th round pick.
He'd completely change the offense and is owed $0 in guaranteed money after this year.

Also from what I've heard (I haven't watched them), Jackson fits that scheme PERFECTLY! ... are the Packers gonna be willing to try to grab the Safeties attention and let him run a whole bunch of Go Routes? That hasn't been MM's normal action route.
For a 5th round pick PULL THE TRIGGER! And release a TE (we're not using them all anyways)... but unless he's a headache behind closed doors, I don't see why the Bucs would do it for less than a 3rd round pick (and maybe not even then).
Don't think we have enough cap room for him or Jones.

Packers cap space remaining seems to have different amounts... I've trust Spotrac numbers more which suggest Packers have $3.367 million in cap space... and Overthecamp suggests there is $6.969 million in cap space.
But Packers can make more cap space (by stealing from future years) by redoing a vet contract, to give them more guaranteed money and less base salary money, as by NFL rules, guaranteed money, spreads out over 5 years or the life of the contract, which ever is shorter.
Which is what Mike Sherman kept doing with Favre, which gave us the false news stories Favre was taking less for the team... when really he was just turning base salary into guaranteed money and Sherman was robbing future years cap amounts trying to keep all his offensive guys happy...
