The more I think about it, the better idea this seems. He can replace/upgrade both Gray and Cadet. And save a roster spot.
Actually Marqui we Love Gray!

Blount's stats combined with the Steelers and Patriots last year weren't much more impressive than Jackson's, and the latter is one of the better receiving and pass protecting backs in the league while Blount needs to come off the field on third down. It's not a decision you'd need to make week 1 anyways.
Jackson has always been one of my more respected opponents. He's a good blocker, obviously can catch the ball, but more importantly for me, he's a RB who WON'T be taken down by the first guy that touches him. While I appreciate what White has done receiving the ball, he STILL gets knocked down by the first guy who hits him. I'd rather have Cadet than him on the roster and Jackson is better than both of them.
Emergence of Lewis give some flexibility as Cadet is not needed and Blount doesn't count for week 1 due to suspension. Has Cadet practiced? Is he PUP eligible?
I'm not sure why. What had has he done exactly other than act like a premadonna and blowing off practice after having one good game?Actually Marqui we Love Gray!

Cut Jackson and name Tyrod Taylor starting QB? What a well run team
Surprised it took till Reply #13 to see that!sign the Beast!
Agree on both points.I'd bring him in for a workout in a heart beat. It's not like the team is absolutely stacked at the position.
I'm not sure any of our backs can run, catch, and pass block. Fred can do it all at what I'd consider an above average level. If healthy. Also if his legs aren't shot. Sign the beast?I've always liked Jackson, but he always seems to be playing through an injury anymore. He was noticeably slower, last season too. He's the oldest RB in the league. I could get behind signing him if the Patriots didn't have four backs that fill his roll already, but they do.
