Can’t we just re sign Cedric Benson ?
He managed most of his yards after contact – spend an off season making our oline improve their run blocking – I’d like to see what a Cedric/Dujuan combo could do.

Plus – they’re both less expensive than Steve Jackson – spend the money on Defense.

Get rid of AJ Hawk – Keep Brad Jones.

Hope he doesn’t play with the Packers because they would have close to a perfect offense.

Crazy living in a world where $3 million is “cheap.”
BTW, strongly doubt that having Hillis in for a visit is delivering a message that Jackson would bother to read.

Lol @Chi01town! That pass pass pass theory that you’re talking trash about has beat your team six times in a row now. You’re still an idiot. For them to get further in the playoffs, they need a legit running back. They don’t need a running back to beat the baby bears.

Chitown your jealousy is showing up again. Do you realize the Packers ran 44% of the time last year? Which equates to 23 per game. Jackson averaged only 16 carries last year with the Rams. Do i need to really say who is the dumb one?

As a Vikes fan I can’t believe GB would not snap up Jackson at a decent price in a second. He would instantly help the O-line and Rodgers’ sack totals. Then again, GB sees RBs the way the Vikes have seen QBs – just go out and get some guy on the cheap and see if you can get a season or two out of him.

Has anyone seen Peyton Hillis play lately. He’s not very good. I’m not saying pay Kuhn 2.5 million. But there are certainly better alternatives other than Hillis. He has a bad attitude, and the only reason he saw time last year is because Brian Dabol was calling the plays for the Chiefs. They were buddies in Cleveland before the brief tenure in KC. The Browns were smart not to pay this joker when he was looking to break the bank a few years ago while he was high on the hog, after getting the cover of Madden. Forget about Jackson as well. His gears are gone and he doesnt offer alot of value for the price he’s expecting to get. If your going to spend some money go and get a dynamic playmaker like Reggie Bush and then find a diamond in the rough late in the draft like the Skins did with Alfred Morris last season.The Packers need speed out on the edge. Rodgers needs someone he can throw to in the flat, that can get up the field in a hurry and make big plays. Bush can do that for you. Plus he was in former Packer OC’s Joe Philbin’s offense last year in Miami, so he is already versed in the offense. Is Ted losing his touch?

Atlanta will land him, he already said he wants to be a Falcon and TD said he’s waiting for the dust to settle before making any big signings. And we’ll pay him more

Jackson wont be that DUMB… Why would a good RB go to a team that
dont run the football? the packers wouldnt know what to do with AP if
the Vikings gave him to them. Rodgers is gone pass.. pass.. pass on every play.

Maybe we should be putting more of a focus on our non existent defense

The Packers’ window is open now, but it is also open for several other teams that seem to be more aggressive in building their team. The 49′ers beat the Packers twice last year, and that is before they added Boldin, plus CK was just getting started. Rodgers is not going to be there forever, nor is Clay Mathews, so if Thompson doesn’t start to add the pieces that are missing, he may end up squandering the opportunity that is there. The window will close. The running back position in GB has been a problem for several years, which also makes the passing game less effective. GB has exited the playoffs too quickly the last two years, so spend some money, get the missing pieces in place, and take advantage of the open window that is there……at least for the moment.

Im a drunk packer fan, but i still know stephen jackson would be a huge addition, and we shouldnt waste 10 mill on the WR position. Spread that 10 mill (if we actually have it) over jackson and any position on the defense.

Steven Jackson would be a great addition, but lets get real Pack, your defense SUCKS! and will only be worse in 2013 than 2012.

This is a case in define “cheap”.

Being fiscally responsible and drawing a line are both what successful teams and front offices subscribe too but sometimes you need to pay a little more than you would like for a player that can help push you over the edge.

Jackson would be a big addition to them because you need to look at the teams standing in your way to the Super Bowl. And two teams you’re likely going to see at least one of is Seattle and San Francisco and those are teams you’re going to have a difficult time beating through the air alone as we saw last season. Jackson has had success against both of those teams.

Every team wants every player on the cheap. Every person wants everything they buy on the cheap.

Except the Dolphins.

Big back like Jackson teamed with change of pace Dujan Harris would be solid. Typical cheap a$$ Teddy.

Although, why the hell would he drop 10 mil per on Jennings? If going to drop that on a player should’ve gone after Dashon Goldson to play safety since there isn’t a starting NFL caliber option on this team. Burnett sucks and no one else behind him. Haven’t been the same defense since Collins got hurt.

@Rick Spielman is a Magician

Brandon Jackson has a super bowl ring which is something no one in Minny has

By: purpleguy

The guy would add a whole different dimension and weapon to the Pack offense. You’d think they’d be focusing more on finding a LB that can move and tackle though.

Keep ignoring the defense and it will be more one and done

If Ted Thompson would of traded away his precious third round pick a few years ago for Marshan Lynch we wouldn’t even be talking about Steven Jackson.

If RB isnt #1 priority for the packers what is!! it might be the only thing they are missing. Are you pac fans drunk already??

Steven Jackson is an under achiever and is not a winner. Would not want him on my team…

If I were Jackson, I wouldn’t do anything “on the cheap.” He deserves to be paid, especially if he is joining a team that has been desperate for a running game for the last decade. He will give the Packers a valid running game, which will enhance the passing game even more. Stick to your guns, Steven & get paid.

This is typical Ted Thompson.. and it’s awesome. I’d love to see Jackson on the Packers, but it’s obviously not the #1 priority for them. The Packers offense is going to be good whether Stephen Jackson is there or not, Thompson needs to be spending his money on the defense.
