Jackson is a 3rd down back he's not going to be the main show for teams or the media...

But was a small rumor that the Bengals were interested...

Also I haven't heard any word on Korey Hall or Jon Kuhn but (like Jackson) I'm not expecting to hear a lot about them right away... normally it'd take week or two to get to these guys but that might be different with the FA being different this year...

The Cards had interest in Kuhn last year as an RFA but didn't sign him. Kuhn and some of the Cards coaches used to be on the Steelers at the same time.

Has Thompson (when with the Packers) ever signed a guy from another team (during the off-season) when the player was over 30?

He's resigned Packers players over 30 but I'm talking about from other teams

I know he's signed Woodson and Pickett but they were under 30 (I think)...

RB Green, DL Green and LB Wilhelm (or how ever you spell it) but they weren't during the offseason... those were during the season right?

I don't know how old Korey Robinson was when we signed him... but I also don't remember if it was during the season or after the season we signed him.

Punter Frost (the guy that tried to replaced Punter Jon Ryan)... I think he was signed right before the season...

But the point is very few 30 year old guys from other teams have been signed by Thompson unless injuries happened.

* Edit - Matt O'Dwyer - was cut at the end of camp.

I don't think Brandon Jackson is retained by the Packers. UNLESS, they let Ryan Grant go.

I think James Starks and Alex Green are locks at RB and it'll be Brandon Jackson OR Ryan Grant. I'm thinking Ryan Grant > Brandon Jackson.

Honestly I think Jackson has more value to GB than he does to other teams, he is the perfect 3rd down back for GB's offense, i'm not sure what he really offers to other teams. Most teams carry a developmental project as a 3rd down back.

Yes, Brandon Jackson has more value to the Packers than nearly any other team. Although Brandon Jackson (like many players) feel he's a starting caliber RB even though he's had a few chances with the Packers and 3rd down back is his niche.
