Falcons rumors: Atlanta likely to land Steven Jackson

St. Louis Rams running back Steven Jackson will void his current contract, making him a free agent, and the Atlanta Falcons are his most likely landing spot, according to Jason Cole of Yahoo! Sports. Atlanta is expected to release veteran running back Michael Turner this offseason, and they’ll need a replacement. It’s starting to look like tight end Tony Gonzalez might push off retirement for at least one more season, and the Falcons could elect to sign fellow veteran Jackson to make a push in 2013. Jackson has said that he doesn’t simply want to compete, but instead he’s looking to sign with a legitimate Super Bowl contender. Only the New England Patriots have won more regular season games than the Falcons over the past five seasons. Atlanta has a solid core, especially on offense, built around Gonzalez, Matt Ryan, Roddy White and Julio Jones.
