I think we have a chance to win this division next year, and adding Jackson will help that goal without blocking prospects or giving up valuable talent.

Pretty much my thoughts as well. I don't believe this organization, which has been so ineptly run for for long (and DM continues to push the idiocy level at times) is now so detailed and forward-thinking with respect to overall payroll.
From Glass's perspective, I think all he knows now is that things are cheap. In other words, all is well.
We can re-sign Gordon and add Jackson at roughly $10M per and still be vastly underspending.
And any comments about "not being able to re-sign Hos" because of moves in '12 would be complete and utter bullshit.
