With the great news about Chris Long signing an extension with the Rams I guess I am getting greedy and hoping the Rams can come to contract extension agreements with James Laurinaitis and Steven Jackson as well! I know the priority is with signing Laurinaitis to an extension (and, I totally agree with this!) since Jackson's contract isn't actually up until after the 2013 season (at least that is what my understanding is) but since I think he (Jackson) has actually brought it up that he would like an extension that would/could help assure him and the Rams that he will retire a Ram it would just be icing on the cake if the Rams could accomodate him and come to agreement on an extension for him. I know most people say giving Jackson an extension at his age may not be too smart but I do think that he keeps himself in top physical condition (and, I think I recently read somewhere how good of shape he reported to the Rams camp yesterday!) and he certainly has been a great player and leader for the Rams these past several years and I don't think he complained too much (if, at all) about having to play for a non-playoff team for so many years. I am pretty sure if he was playing for a better team he would have a lot more yards and a lot more playoff experience. I like & appreciate Steven Jackson and I hope he retires a Ram!
