I would be very interested in bringing him in. First of all, he is someone who is well respected around the league and known to be a strong locker room guy. I've been saying for a while now that we need to bring in veteran leaders to help avoid the kind of things that we had to deal with recently. Jackson fits the bill.
Furthermore, he's a linebacker and we surely need some of those. It would be a win-win.
I know he's on the older side but IMO the benefits far outweigh the negatives as long as we could get him at a reasonable price. A position of need and a veteran locker room leader. We should be in on his services.

Would be a good move. Our lb's were not good.

NFL media guys on twitter are showing a lot of love for Jackson for the way he carries himself as a leader and a player. We need this kind of guy in our locker room.

We probably won't have enough "budgeted" to sign him despite having all the cap space to do so.

Is Jackson a good linebacker?
-
i think we already have to much money tied into the LB position, i don't expect a LB brought in in FA, a rookie could be possible but not a guy who will probably demand 3-5 million a year
-
Yes.
-
Is he suited to play in a 4-3 though after all that time in a 3-4? I'm all for it from a character and leadership stand point but does he have the range for it? What do you do with Ellerbe if he was signed?
-
FWIW he played in the 4-3 in Cleveland as well. Still don't think he's for Miami though.PerfectTeam likes this.

I don't think so either. I forgot they had played a 4-3 at one point.
-
Apparently he wants to go somewhere with stability. Probably crosses us off the list.

Jackson is overrated. Pass.
