Steven Jackson, one of the five best RBs in the NFL, has held out of training camp for the past 7 days. He's entering the final year of his four-year contract and is understandably looking for a new deal.
However, the Rams have indicated they won't negotiate with Jackson until he reports to camp.
What gives?
Steven Jackson should report to camp. While he wants an extension, he has to get a contract at the end of the year. And despite rushing for 1000+ yards for a 3rd straight season in 2007, Jackson and the Rams had an off year. Granted, Jackson was injured, but he was playing at a level below that of his 2006 season. Come back, play like you're capable of and then after the season, you'll have a much bigger pay day.
But pouting now does nothing to endear you to the organization, the fans and/or other potential suitors down the line.
