Re: Why shouldn't Jackson use his leverage?
This was, of course, what we feared, in that Jackson and his agent are concerned about going into a season with no security blanket. If Jackson suffers a career ending injury this year, the Rams can say, oh well, and move on. So, will this be a hold out? maybe, but you would think that it could have been mentioned somehow. Maybe he just overslept and now has to drive or find his own flight?
I know, I know, wishful thinking.
It makes sense for everyone to sign him long-term now. Extend him five years, which will make his last season when he's 30. After then, we should have drafted a newer, younger back ready to take his place as he took Marshall's. The problem is the money, how much per year on average to give him, and what our cap looks like. We only have one more guy left to sign, so much of the rest of the cap can be used to lock up Jax. Anyone know what our situation is like?
