St. Louis tried trading running back Steven Jackson to the Packers last year for a seventh-round draft choice, but Thompson didn't want to assume his contract.

First, Jackson is worth more than a 7th round pick.

Second, why the frick did the Packers reject that?

Also, I think this solidifies Ted Thompson's spot as worst GM in the league and maybe in the history of the NFL.

I can understand not wanting to grab that contract. I like Steven Jackson, but does he even remotely fit their system?

Not a big deal, they picked up two younger cheaper backs to provide some explosiveness out of the backfield position. Jackson would have been tremendous catching the ball out of the backfield but is their offensive line even built for run blocking? Jackson is a solid back and would have had a 1k season but I doubt he would have put up numbers that much better than what they will get from Lacy, Franklin, and Harris
