Green Bay - Free agent-to-be St. Louis Rams RB Steven Jackson caused Packers fans on Twitter to spill coffee on themselves by announcing on his account (@sj39) that he was coming to Green Bay today.

Color me in the camp of not in favor of adding Jackson unless it is a contract of extreme value.

Jackson a couple years ago.. absolutely.. today's Steven Jackson.. not sold with watching sparingly the last couple of seasons. Not the same player.

And yes I read that it has nothing to do with FA.. just adding my two cents in terms of the clamoring.

The first RSS feed that causes a mild stir.. lol.

I for one am not exactly jumping for joy or spilling coffee. First of all, coming is not signing. Secondly, even though we can probably trust Thompson not to break the bank for Jackson, it's still a concern. That being said, Jackson seems way better than Cedric Benson, and he might be a significant help.

Benson wasn't what he used to be either and he looked pretty good until he went down with that foot.

Here is the issue I have with this possibility.. yes once FA opens.

He voided  a 7 million dollar year to hit the open market..

Here has been his last 5 seasons cap numbers.. and he inked this deal with 11.4 Million to sign..

2008: 4,016,670
2009: 7,399,170
2010: 8,004,170
2011: 9,099,170
2012: 10,798,340


He is going to be looking to get paid.. won't be in that range, but guy is still going to look for a sizable signing bonus with a couple years in length.

He is hoping to get a multiyear deal, probably at much less per year, just to have some security for the next couple.
