Rams shoot down Steven Jackson trade rumors

Found April 25, 2012 on Pro Football Zone: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Steven Jackson
TEAMS: St. Louis Rams
Cf
According to Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the St. Louis Rams have made it clear they were unaware that running back Steven Jackson is looking for a new contract. So any rumors of the Rams possibly trading Jackson look like they’re false. Thomas indicated that those who are close to Jackson have said that he doesn’t want a new contract, but would rather like an extension, so he can make sure he retires as a Ram. There were also rumors that the Rams would release Jackson if they end up drafting Alabama running back Trent Richardson, but that seems unlikely as well, since they don’t need the cap room.

2012 NFL Draft: Rams Select Michael Brockers

With the 14th pick from the Dallas Cowboys the St. Louis Rams select DT Michael Brockers.  This is a great pick for the Rams who like any other team needs to stuff the run up the middle.  He can take over a game if put in the right situation.  He is fast enough to jump the gap when the guards pull. The Rams have 3 of the first 45 picks plus the number 1 pick which means they haveÂ...

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.
