Tom Silverstein, of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, reports Green Bay Packers DT Grady Jackson has signed with agent Drew Rosenhaus and he has already let the team know he wants a new contract. According to Rosenhaus, Jackson is "very dissatisfied" with his current deal and probably won't report to training camp if the Packers don't rework it. Jackson still has a year left on a two-year, $2.31 million extension he signed at the end of 2003. The deal was restructured before the end of last season so Jackson could more easily earn money tied to a weight clause, and he was advanced $65,000 of his $665,000 base salary May 2. "That's a consideration, definitely," Rosenhaus said of a Jackson holdout. "Obviously, he wouldn't have changed agents if things had been going well. It seems he hasn't made the progress he wants to and that's why he hired me. He reached out to me." Jackson was previously represented by James "Bus" Cook.
