He'll be 30, he's a big guy and has had injury problems - only once in the last 4 years has he been able to play all 16 games (and next year it looks like being 17 games) - and the level of his play is seemingly on the decline.
Are you wanting to fix the line for a year or for several years?
Is he a scheme fit? Seems not.
Does he have play-off experience? He made the play-offs once in seven years - a wild card defeat to Houston.
Was he a team captain? Doesn't appear so.
He might be what another team is looking for, but doesn't seem a good fit for what the Bengals need to rebuild the line. The main thing he seems to have going for him for the Bengals is name recognition.
Other than Thuney and Scherff (who will both be crazy expensive) and maybe Feiler, who could potentially end up playing G for someone...how many guards out there are better than Jackson?
And speaking of Feiler, I like the idea of signing him to play LG (where he says he likes the best) and Jackson to play RG (where he has the most experience). They could sign both guys for probably less than one Joe Thuney. That addresses 2 spots and they could still go after a RT (maybe a possible trade for Havenstein) or C if they choose to.
