Rams RB Steven Jackson Unhappy With Contract, Wants New Deal

Rams running back Steven Jackson is unhappy with his current contract and would like to re-negotiate it, a league source said Monday. Jackson signed a six-year deal in 2008 that was set to run through the 2013 season. Given Jackson's dissatisfaction, it would make sense for the Rams to try to select a running back, such as Alabama product Trent Richardson, in the 2012 NFL Draft this week. The Rams currently have the No. 6 overall pick in the draft, but could try to trade with a team to pick higher.

Jackson is trying to cash in as much as he can because he has a few good years left.

 

well, this is interesting ..................

i'm not sure i can recall a situation EVER where a team was considering releasing a pricey veteran on the downside of his career at the same time he was demanding more money?!?!

this is a major wtf

 

if he were to get released, i guarantee the Lions jump all over it

 

alot of teams would hes still pretty good

 

Awww this is cute, the media manufacturing some draft day storylines.

Nothing to see here guys...
