Falcons Are Still Front-Runners For RB Steven Jackson

Found March 10, 2013 on GridironFans.com: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Steven Jackson
TEAMS: St. Louis Rams
During a barrage of media interviews Thursday and Friday in New York, running back Steven Jackson sounded very much like someone who has made his mind up to leave the Rams, Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. “I understand the business side of it,” Jackson told Sirius XM NFL Radio. “I still have a great relationship with the (Rams’) organization, and one day I’ll be going back there.” There weren’t a lot of phone calls inquiring about him Saturday according to those close to Jackson. But Atlanta still is regarded as the frontrunner for his services, and the Falcons aren’t the only team interested. Source: The Redzone
