Butch Stearns mentioned earlier on WEEI that he has heard rumblings out of Gillette in re: to Jackson, but he does not want to mention or is not 100% sure of what he is hearing.

Are there any insiders out there that can further elaborate? My guess is that it is a maturity issue / transition to the NFL thing.

No, really, we're talking about this again? I understand you might have missed it, but this topic has been absolutely beaten to death around here.

The CJ battlers will surely come out and drown the thread in opinions, but my take is still:

He's a rookie. At a position that rookies don't really do well at in the NFL. On a team which asks alot of WRs. And he's been injured. Three times. With two different injuries. He's young, he still has time to 'figure it out'. Having a full TC under his belt next season will show us more of what he's about than this season without a TC and full of injuries.

That is all.

Lol, he just asked about a specific rumor he heard, you're the one beating it to death by giving a whole winded argument on why you support CJ.

Who is Chad Jackson?

This is the biggest non post ever. Rumblings on the radio that the guy doesn't want to mention. OK - so what is there to talk about ?

Phokus

He's had meager contributions. That's the scoop. Personally, i'm pissed that we didn't get greg jennings or marques colston. Imagine if we had both

Belichickfan, how is this a non-post?

Obviously, Stearns has heard something, but he chooses not to elaborate. I am looking for someone to elaborate specifically.

Maybe it is nothing, but Stearns has obviously heard something. Plus, we all know how tight-lipped the team is.

Therefore, I am hoping to hear specifics, not the usual Jackson mumbo-jumbo.

You're right, I'm just tired of rumors with nothing behind them and it sounds like this is the case with Stearns. He should produce the goods or keep quiet. Jackson has been active (on the active roster, anyway) the past two weeks so I'm assuming things are at least OK for him right now.

I guess the obvious thing to say is that if Stearns isn't ready to supply detail, then he should keep his trap shut, otherwise he sounds like some taunting kid on the schoolyard. Or did he want someone to say, "just whisper it in my ear?"

I heard that Chad has finally come to grips with the fact that he is woman trapped in a man's body. The operation has been tentatively scheduled for February 17th at 11:00 a.m. in Mass General. Since Chad and his lawyers are claiming that he has no intention of retiring, NE is doing their due diligence to see if what options they have.

Nothing has been finalized yet, but I have this from a good source.
