D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution writes that impending free agent Steven Jackson “appears” to be the Falcons’ top target in free agency.
There’s been a lot of speculation in recent weeks that Jackson could make his way to Atlanta now that he’s expected to void the final year of his contract and test the free agent market.
The Falcons released Michael Turner a few days ago, but signing Jackson seems to make a lot of sense in terms of the fit. Jackson would not only be able to take on a similar role in the team’s offense, but would almost certainly be an upgrade for them.
Jackson has said that he would like to finish out the remainder of his career with the Rams, so there’s at least a decent chance he could re-sign with them in the next few weeks.
