Steven Jackson wants to play for contender

Veteran running back Steven Jackson hopes to play for a contender before he bows out of the NFL.

Former St Louis Rams and Atlanta Falcons running back Steven Jackson has insisted that he wants to join a contender.

Jackson has lost nine or more games in all but three of his 11 NFL seasons, and wants to go out on a winning note if possible.

"That's the thing," Jackson told ESPN.

"I have all the things I've accomplished personally, but I've still never been on a team that won more than eight games. That would be definitely one of the things that I'm looking for is that opportunity in my next chapter."

The 31-year-old has ruled out a move to a team that is rebuilding and in need of a veteran of his ilk to teach the younger players how to be professional.
