Expect Jackson at Seahawks minicamp

* Talk about the team in the Seahawks forum

KIRKLAND — The news Friday was no news on Darrell Jackson, the veteran Seahawks receiver long the subject of trade rumors.

Despite speculation of a draft-day trade involving Jackson — "there was certainly more talk about it than what's actually going on," Seahawks president and general manager Tim Ruskell said — Ruskell expects to see Jackson at the team's mandatory minicamp the week after the draft.

"We're going to see Darrell at the minicamp," Ruskell said. "He's part of our football team."

Jackson has missed part of the past two seasons with injuries and is due $3.25 million in base salary this season, factors that could lead to the end of his seven-year career with the Seahawks. Seattle also has four proven receivers on the roster in addition to Jackson.

Still, Jackson ranks in the top five in touchdowns, receiving yards and catches in the history of the franchise.

Darrell Jackson - WR - SEA - Apr. 17 - 3:17 pm et

The Seahawks are only expected to trade Darrell Jackson if they can get a second- or high third-round pick in return.

The Packers have reportedly shown interest in Jackson, in addition to the Niners, Saints, Jaguars, and Bears. Seattle wants to add another pick or two because it doesn't have one in the first round. Apr. 1

Surprise Buffalo has no interest. Price, Reed, Parrish? C'mon. I know they're rebuilding but give Losman and the O a chance.

 
I think now is your last chance to get DJ on the cheap in dynasty, he'll be a lock for 1k when DJax is traded

 
Why are the Seahawks willing to trade DJax? I was under the impression that he was still Hasselbeck's #1 option. Am I mistaken about this?

Its because of the emergence of DJ Hackett that they're willing to let him go. That and he wants a new contract.

Hackett is a free agent next year and will want a starters contract. Makes complete sense to hang their hopes on the guy. Not.

:11: Its not like they dont have Burleson and Engram there as well.
 
Surprised that the Vikings don't have any interest. Oh yeah. That's because getting better is not the Vikings priority. We need to teach our players how to pull up their pants first. Then we can move on to potty training. :fro:

Could it be there is still alot of bad blood between the Vikings and the Seahawks over Hutchinson and the Seahawks won't talk to them?And the Titans should be all over this if DJax is really healthy. Kind of weird that the teams with the biggest receiver needs aren't interested: Vikings, Titans, Bills, Texans. I sort of assume they wouldn't trade to the Niners who belong on this list, but are within the Seahawk,s division.

Burleson isn't even starter material. He's a #3 WR and a returner, at best. The best WR on the roster (not named DJax) is Deion Branch. Bobby Engram is an old man at this point - he'll be fortunate to still be in the league by 2008.

The bottum line is the team wants to go with DJ Hackett at this point and they have decent depth behind him.
 
This does not make much sense. With no 1st rd pick this year, SEA would be banking on a 2nd rd WR at best if they think they can get someone to play this year(unlikely). If DJ is dinged up permanently(knee) then he wouldn't pass a physical so any trade would be nullified anyways. :bag:

 
Wow, Darrell Jackson's knee must be bad if the Hawks don't want to pay a base salary of 3.25 million for their most consistent receiving threat. Some third-rate receivers in this year's Free Agency are getting paid more than that! I wonder if he would even pass the medical clearance for a trade to go down?

That Rotoworld article links to This SportingNews Article which does not mention the interested teams.
The Seahawks will take the best player available with their top pick--a second-rounder (No. 55)--and shy away from prospects with character issues. They have a surplus of wideouts and could move Darrell Jackson but only if they can land a second- or high third-round pick for him.

Good point. I'll keep Hutchinson.

 
Mike Sando has done a marvelous job of promoting this at the Tacoma News Tribune. I really dislike it when a reporter gets an idea and runs with it without any sort of substantial evidence worth reporting. He's said it enough that even other people are believing it. I won't be surprised in the slightest to see Jackson starting for Seattle when the season opens.

The "third rounder" is total speculation and very poor journalism. When Clare Farnesworth from the Seattle PI reports it, I'll believe it. I'm willing to give Sando credit for reporting the most information on a consistent basis, but he certainly lets his opinion blur into his facts way too often.

Looks like people forget Branch has a offseason of work as a Seahawk this year.
Click to expand...
I don't think anyone is forgetting that. Branch never looked like a top-tier WR in New England - he struggled anytime the defense threw double teams at him. Top WRs are able to beat a double team.....look at Steve Smith for a recent example. I think it's more likely that Branch and Hackett form a 1A/1B combo, similar to Reggie Brown and Stallworth in Philly last year. It sucked, because you never knew which guy would get 100 yards + 1 TD, and which guy would have 3 catches for 35 yards.Branch is clearly the more experienced, polished WR. But Hackett has higher upside, IMO.Of course, if DJax doesn't get traded, this is all a moot point. DJax - if he stays in Seattle and remains healthy - is an almost automatic top 10 WR.

Moose is due a mega-hefty roster bonus after this season concludes. He won't be back after '07 unless he takes a pay cut.With Briggs situation unknown, and with Vasher/Tillman/Grossman and Berrian all free agents after the '07 season, the Bears don't have the cap space to make this move - although I think D-Jax is worth their 3rd round pick - but not much more... The Bears pick 2nd to last, and then the compensation picks kick in to teams that lost 'big name' free agents.
 
DJax's demise and fall from graces is greatly exaggerated.

As a rookie in 2000 he racked up 700+ yds and 6TD which is sensational for rookie WR.

The next season he posts alomst 1,100 yds and 8TD

In 2003 and 2004 he avg over 1,100 yds a season and 8 TD

2005 he was injured

2006 he was in the top3 for WR thru week 10/11 in almost all FF leagues...he was slowed at the end of the season.

DJax is not a 1,500/15 TD type of WR...who is? But he is a consistent 1,000+ yds and 8TD a season type guy and there are not as many of them laying around as you think. The fact Seattle has a lot of weapons at WR only helps him.

Target DJ Hackett as much as you like. He had a couple of serviceable games last year but he has not anyting close to what DJax did when he got to Seattle. And if the arguement is that DJax got more opps when he got to Seattle, you are only strengthening my arguement that because of the greatness of DJax that Mr Hackett has some limited upside playing behind both DJax and Branch.

If DJax were traded to NO I would actually be happy with that. He is a clear #1WR on almost all teams in the league not named Indy, Cinci, and St Louis...and even in those environments he might flourish too.

I have been fortunate to have him on many redrafts and now on my dynasty leagues too. Those that drafted in the PDSL leagues with me know how I feel about DJax.

:popcorn:REASON FOR EDIT:Okay, that was sort of a mean bump. I didn't mean to direct it at this poster, but more at the whole thread. Jackson blows and we're glad to be rid of him in Seattle. Congrats on this steal of a trade SF. How's that working for ya?

Pretty lame bump.

So many thought D-Jax would be worth something in SF, and were wrong. I count myself among them. Big deal.

Their whole team kinda sucks. This trade probably still has helped them.

Could you elaborate on that? How has D Jax helped SF? I get the feeling Battle is the best WR on the team, but I've only watched them get embarrassed by Seattle this year two times. I haven't seen anything else but the boxscores and season stats.

It was thoughtful of you to bump this....especially considering how much quality commentary you added to the discussion back in April. Oh wait, you weren't even around.I'm sure we all appreciate your "help" on this. :lmao:
 
Congrats, Seattle fan, for making the playoffs by winning the worst

division in the NFL and then promptly being booted to the curb.

This is like bragging about finishing in the middle of the pack.

:confused: What does that have to do with anything? I don't see Seattle making much noise this post season. We agree there.For what its worth I asked the thread starter to change the title to something more appropriate so we can discuss the impact of DJax in SF.

What's the point of even bringing this up? Bragging about discussions before you were even here? Pointing the finger at guys who were wrong back in April? Change the title of a thread no one would ever see again if you didn't bump it a couple of useless times? It's embarassing to be associated by team with you.
