Now you are saying he 'mislead' people when he said he didn't want to be the media guy?
Wait are you still taking up for the guy?


He always talked about wanting to not be the spotlight, that it wasn't the GM"s job. Yet who was always on camera?

Yep. He always said it was his job to be out of the spotlight. That was the HC's job.

Don't mind Laz. Rational takes aren't part of his catalog.

At least he's doing interviews and not that, "the head coach is the face of the franchise" bullshit that Pioli used as a gimmick to not talk to the fans or media.

I have a college friend who works for the Packers and he said he's one of the nicest guys he's met.

I think his on-camer persona is awkward because he's not comfortable in front of it.
This is the way I see it.

I doubt the NFLPA will approve any contract with less $ than the current one. I like 2 year extension with some combination of signing bonus & third year ballon adding up to $14 mil. Puts cap around 4.33 per year.

That's a little high for his production, but not totally out of whack. I would not be surprised to see him released, make a FA tour then wind up back here.

The NFLPA can kiss John Dorsey's ass. They may not like the offer, but there is nothing they can do if Jackson agrees to it.

Jackson is probably gone though. Either way, I am not losing any sleep over it.

Since when does the NFLPA have any say in player compensation?

Players are worth what a team decides to pay.

It's the smooth ones you gotta watch out for.

I could be wrong, but I have always been under the impression contracts could be disapproved by the NFLPA. Similar to league review of trades.

Part and parcel of collective bargaining. It is not just you and the team. If you take a pay cut, it affects the other players future pay as well. NFLPA no likey.

The dinner, the scouts in the first draft, Jackson, The Right 53, it's literally insurmountable.
:hmmm: what was that incident?

The dinner with Scott, Haley, and some local journalists including Whitlock. It was apparently the first eye opener that they got up close and personal.

Don't get me wrong, I want to keep Jackson. He's good, just not elite. If he's not willing to take a reasonable pay cut, then cut him. Try signing him after he talks to a few teams and sees what his market is. If they are also offering him too much, then let him go. But I don't see that happening, and if he wants a starting job his best bet is coming back here IMO.
