Rams Working On Locking Up RB Steven Jackson

Rams RB Steven Jackson mentioned, while appearing on Pro Football Talk Live today, that he and the team have discussed a contract extension that would keep him in St. Louis for the remainder of his NFL career.

โ€œWeโ€™ve had some contact about making sure I retire as a Ram,โ€ said Jackson. โ€œI think somewhere in the future, myself and the Rams will get something worked out. To make sure I can retire as a Ram.โ€

As of now, Jackson will not be a free agent until the 2014 season and thereโ€™s been some speculation that the Rams may look to trade him, but that doesnโ€™t appear to be the case any longer. Isiah Pead figures to cut into Jacksonโ€™s workload, but thatโ€™s probably a good thing considering the mileage that he has.
