So Green Bay is willing to pay a receiver we don’t really need 10 mil a year, but not pay Steven Jackson at least 4 mil a year, that makes a lot of sense…

I can live with 4 mil guaranteed to a 30 year old rb. RISE UP!

Good for him getting a decent deal at the end of his career. If the Pats don’t make the Superbowl, I’ll be rooting for the Falcons so Jackson and Gonzalez can get their rings. Two of the classiest people in the NFL.

As a Falcons fan, I would rather we drafted a RB (Eddie Lacy) and used the $ on a free agent DE to replace Abraham. 3 years for a RB hitting 30 is just crazy.

Hope the Falcons have an O-line to block for all these weapons, If not then another underachieved season in the books!

Hate losing him butI’m glad he went to a team I like and that will probably get the best use out of him. Did not want to see him sign with the Pack.

Another great steal by the falcons.

49ers fan here. Steven Jackson is one of the classiest players in the league. No matter how poor his team was playing, he never complained and always gave every ounce of energy he had. He has been the heart and soul of the Rams during the last 9 years and he deserves to experience the playoffs.

So Jonathan Casillas, a career special teams backup linebacker with questionable instincts and a complete inability to stay healthy gets 3 million a year.

And Steven Jackson, who has been one of the very best lead backs in the NFL for 8 years and has never fallen short of the 1,000 yard mark in that time, gets $4 million a year.

Ooooo-kay.

Maybe it’s not just about the money for him. After all those years on losing teams in St. Louis, he may have just wanted to win for a change.

If the rest of Micheal Turner was built like his gluteus maximus, he would be Steven Jackson.

This makes all the sense in the world, and not just because ATL is buying another free agent former Pro Bowler whose Pro Bowl days are definitely but not devastatingly behind them.

Jaquizz Rogers is solid, but his committee will always need a co-chair. He’s a surprisingly good back for being the approximately the size of my girlfriend, but for an NFL feature back he’s adistinctly average.

David and Goliath is the new Thunder and Lightning.

ummmm… Steven Jackson has a “chance” to win the starting job? Hope that was some dry Florio humor.

And that’s why the packers didn’t sign him, too much $$ for a 30 year old

Too much for Ted “coupon clipper” Thompson. If the falcons offered 45 cents, dime store Ted would offer 42. I bet he goes to Denny’s and orders a water and asks for leftovers off other people’s plates. I’m sure somebody has a broken old center that can’t block that the packers can get.

Im happy for Jackson although I dont see them winning the superbowl in the next 2 years.

I have nothing against Reggie Bush, but I think Jackson is worth a good bit more than he is. Good signing at a good price in my opinion.

Mike Smith lied and said rodgers is a 3 down back…this signing confirms SJAX will be starting tailback and everyone knows rodgers is not a 3 down back…Good luck with this signing Falcon fans!

I was hoping the Packers would sign him. Nuts.

Well good luck ATL fans! Your going to be pissed when SJ39 gets stopped behind the line dancing around. On 1st an 10′he gets. 6 yards. On 4th and inches he will have negative yards. Hope he knows how to moonwalk! HEE HEEE!

Just think, we are paying BenJarvis Green Ellis about the same amount of money to be our starting RB. Thats disappointing.

Maybe we should be talking about some of these players who are content with what they have financially and are chasing something else they don’t have in their careers. I’m rooting for ATL to take the next step now that Jackson is with one of my other favorite players chasing a ring, Tony G.

“…he’ll need to be willing to dial back on the contact.”

Facing CAR, TB, NO instead of SF, SEA & ARZ may not dial back the number of contacts, but they sure don’t hit as hard.

Curious… do they really have that little faith in Jacquizz Rodgers?
