Williams is a Pro Bowl player. Jackson is pedestrian. It's not easy to find a Pro Bowl OLT. Run-of-the-mill OLB's are much easier to find. Those are the differences between them. And that's why a team might take a risk on a player like Williams and not take the same risk on a player like Jackson.

If you don't think that Jackson's drug suspension affects his value on the open market, then you are mistaken. Of course, if his value is lessened by his suspension, then the Redskins could conceivably sign him for less money than he would have otherwise commanded. On the other hand, the value of an indefinitely suspended player is zero.
