I apologize if this has been posted elsewhere...I tried skimming thru other posts, but anyway...

I've read other whispers of this beyond just pft, but apparently the packers have hinted at interest in him.

The Minnesota Vikings are trying to trade quarterback Tarvaris Jackson, according to Judd Zulgad and Chip Scoggins of the Minneapolis Star Tribune.

Specifically, the team has called other franchises to gauge the market for Jackson's services.

This doesn't mean a deal will be made, and it likewise doesn't mean that the Vikings will cut Jackson if they don't get an acceptable offer.

One thing that makes Jackson somewhat attractive is his contract. Quarterbacks with starting experience (20 games in three years, including playoffs) usually aren't available at a base salary of only $535,000.

As we've previously pointed out, one of the teams most likely to be interested in Jackson is the Packers. The Vikings would be stoopid to trade him to Green Bay, however; Jackson has intimate knowledge of the team's offense. And if there's no suitor for Jackson the smart move might be to keep him, because there's a chance he'd end up in green and gold.

Since his impressive pre season outing in game 2 I've warmed to the idea of having him on our roster.

He would be an adequate backup, knows the WCO, knows the Vikings O and is still young enough for Mike McCarthy and Clemens to mould into a good player.

Bizarrely he has more game wins under his belt that Aaron Rodgers (which just shows what a stupid stat Win/Loss record is for assessing QBs)

But I dont want to cut either Flynn or Brohm. If we could IR Flynn I'd be up for it.

We'd have to trade for him though, I don't see him falling to us on the waiver wire with Detroit, the Jets and the Jags ahead of us.

Yawn. The Packers have been reportedly interested in EVERY possible trade rumor or impending free agent in the past few months. It means nothing. Or it means everything. We have no way of knowing.

I sure would like having him as a backup instead of Flynn or Brohm.

This is a placeholder

I jsut saw where Damon Huard was released, is he on a plane to Green Bay? They are probably interested in him.

There will be plenty of FA qb's around if the need for a backup arises, there always are.

Flynn and Brohm are your backups, if Flynns injury is more than what has been reported The Packers would sign A FA QB who is out there they are not going to trade(Trade is that in TT's repetoire?) for a backup qb.

Now if Jackson is released by the Vikings I am sure there will be interest in Green Bay.

It amazes me when the teams say they have a player they are looking to move through a trade, this time of year teams just wait and see what pops up on the waiver wire.

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

So far what I have seen of him in the preseason I like what he has done. Mobile/athletic and decent thrower.

Last MN game they did talk about how he made some mistakes in last seasons playoffs thou. Compared to brohm thou atm I would much rather have TJ competing with Flynn as a backup role then with brohm.

ie this is the type of QB I wouldnt feel my stomach sink if he walked on the field for us. Last year I can remember flynn walking on the field and thinking "oh great" (and he didnt dissapoint)

Are you sure Detroit is ahead of us on the waiver wire? They just claimed a backup QB off waivers. I would think that moves them to the bottom of the waiver claim list.

If we aquire TJack for the team, can we give him the #4 jersey?

Make him a captain so he can go to midfield with Brett during the coin toss.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

I think this rumor is more true then any other, because our backup qbs are not ready to take over in a game.

Trade for him? Hell no.

Claim him off waivers or sign him if the Vikings release him? It'd be an interesting prospect, but part of me would rather give our current guys one more year to see if they can't develop some more.
