Steven Jackson has admitted that he was disappointed with his two-year spell with the Atlanta Falcons.
The 31-year-old was cut by the Falcons on Friday due to his below-par performances during his time with the NFC South side, while the decision also saves the team money against the salary cap for free agency next month.
Jackson has conceded that he was far from his best with the Falcons, but has insisted that he still has plenty left to give in his NFL career.
He said on his official website: "In terms of what we hoped to accomplish as a team on the field, my time as a Falcon was a disappointment, but I will always be grateful for how the city and franchise treated me while I was there.
"Mr. Blank is one of the classiest owners I've been lucky enough to meet, and I feel fortunate to have played for him.
"Make no mistake: I can still punish a defense. I still have a warrior's heart. There are 1,000-yard seasons left in these legs. I know what I am still capable of, and I have every intention of proving it."
Jackson recorded 1,250 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns in his two years with the Falcons.
