Rams running back Steven Jackson is unhappy with his current contract and would like to re-negotiate it, a league source said Monday. Jackson signed a six-year deal in 2008 that was set to run through the 2013 season. Given Jackson's dissatisfaction, it would make sense for the Rams to try to select a running back, such as Alabama product Trent Richardson, in the 2012 NFL Draft this week. The Rams currently have the No. 6 overall pick in the draft, but could try to trade with a team to pick higher.
