Steven Jackson to the Packers? Maybe, but Adam Schefter misfired - UPDATED

Oops! Adam Schefter tweeted that the Green Bay Packers had agreed to a three-year deal with free agent running back Steven Jackson, then promptly deleted it. This is fun.

RT @tydunne: And there it is. RT @adamschefter Former Rams RB Steven Jackson has accepted a 3 year deal with the Packers.

So it appears Adam Schefter tweeted that the Packers signed Steven Jackson and then deleted it. False alarm?

No, it was there, plain as day. Avatar and all. RT @ccso228: Seriously I couldn't have been the only one that saw that Schefter tweet...

Whoopsies! I feel bad for Schefter, as I've definitely misfired on a tweet before. My guess: He's got some decent information that the Packers will sign Jackson, but isn't supposed to tweet it until he's given the okay. He probably tweeted before he was given the okay.

Anyway, Schefter's human and this stinks for him. Hopefully my theory's right and Jackson actually signs with the team later today.

UPDATE: There was something to that misfire, it appears.

Hearing the #Packers and RB Steven Jackson have been talking about a three-year deal. Working on details.
