Could the RB across the sidelines this weekend will be on our sidelines,next year?
I can't see the team looking at RB in the offseason,I think there is plenty of talent already there in Ridley,Vereen,Bolden and Woody,but Jackson seems like a Belichick guy and is nearing the other side of his career that Bill also looks for,also familiar with McDaniels .
I would look more on defense to spend money next year,Jackson is indeed worth salivating over but I would pass.

Re: ESPN Sando: Picture Steven Jackson with the Patriots next year
We've no need. Get us a dominating run blocker at RG maybe, sure.
Right now we've got this purported run game. I don't really see it. Defenses are just so scared of Brady they give us running room.
We need to run the ball against a defense expecting the run.

The Patriots have been overachievers the past two years. It doesn't have the talent to compensate for injuries, and it wins so much because it puts in 99% effort in the regular season and plays with terrific schemes to mask its deficiencies.
But in the playoffs a good team at 99% will not beat emotional, talented teams that play at 100%. It's what happened against the Giants in 2011 and the Ravens in 2012.
Re: ESPN Sando: Picture Steven Jackson with the Patriots next year
I'd rather picture
A: A dominant safety (unlikely).
B: A dominant CB (unlikely)
C: A good impact player to play opposite Jones on the pass rush.
D: A WR that could replace Wes (if he indeed leaves after the end of this season).
Re: ESPN Sando: Picture Steven Jackson with the Patriots next year
With Ridley and Woodhead playing well, Bolden and Vereen showing potential, and Demps coming back next season, I don't see any room for Jackson. Hell, I'm not even sure if these 5 can all fit next year.
Re: ESPN Sando: Picture Steven Jackson with the Patriots next year
Price aside, I'd imagine this move would only make sense to the Patriots if Vereen were to fail this year. Woodhead, Bolden and Ridley seem to have established themselves, and I can't imagine Demps not getting a real shot next season, assuming his leg heals properly and his speed returns. Because of Jackson's age, and the miles on his tires, I'd imagine the team would stick with the youth, all things being equal, even if Jackson was still the best RB of the group in their eyes.

Re: ESPN Sando: Picture Steven Jackson with the Patriots next year
In a vacuum, sure, I'd like him, but for the money it would take to get him, I'd much rather that it was instead directed toward the secondary or the OL.
