Seahawks looking to trade Darrell Jackson

The Seahawks are reportedly hoping to trade Darrell Jackson.

The team hasn't commented publicly or initiated trade talks yet, but it's no surprise. Jackson has been unhappy regarding an old contract snafu and the Seahawks can't be happy with his attitude or drops. They seem willing to take a $4 million cap hit to deal him. He will have a hard time finding a better situation than Seattle to put up big numbers. Feb. 25 - 9:06 am et

Get ready for DJ Hackett to be a top 20 fantasy WR if DJax is not with SEA this upcoming season.

 

[David Yudkin]

I'd laugh if he ended up in New England.

 

[cstu]

I would love to see him in SD.

 

[msommer]

Philly anyone?

Tennessee?

 

[Pat Patriot]

I'd laugh if he ended up in New England.

Do you think there is any chance? Because the Pats were able to squeeze a 1st rounder out of them for Branch, I would think Seattle would want too much from the Pats.The Pats really need a deep threat which when healthy is exactly what Jackson is. Highly unlilkely but interesting.

 

[Ron_Mexico]

San Diego makes total sense.

They could use an upgrade from

McCardell, and a veteran influence

to mentor VJax and Floyd.

If Philly doesnt plan on bringing Stallworth back, going after Jackson would be a good move but they wont do it.

 

[Z-Dog]

His drops would make him a perfect fit in Atlanta!

But seriously, he's a West Coast offense guy who is a little gimpy and a little dropsy, but still an elite WR. There are any number of teams that would be interested. Assuming that the market was set by Branch last year, it will take a late first-rounder to get him. Based on who has late picks, SD seems like a possiblity.

If Philly doesnt plan on bringing Stallworth back, going after Jackson would be a good move but they wont do it.

Philly has made it clear they will be happy to develop Baskett and Avant opposite Reggie Brown, realizing that Stallworth will be priced outside their value system. The same would hold true with Jackson. With the exception of TO (and we remember how that turned out), the Eagles prefer to be frugal in terms of WR spending.I think KC would make a lot of sense.By the way, Jackson leaving would bump Branch's value into the top 20 WRs I'd think.

If it was a trade, the Eagles wouldnt be on the hook for a signing bonus for Jackson. They wouldnt be paying him "Stallworth money" and he wouldnt eat up their cap.Fact is the Eagles need more than Reggie Brown. Baskett and Avant are not going to cut it as starting WR's.

I understand having an opinion on a player, but you say Baskett has no chance at being a starting NFL WR after his rookie year, and then say that anyone who disagrees with you is delusional? You must win every FF league there ever was, WYCOFF, all of em. I am in awe. Teach me, oh great one.

What about him makes him not a capable #2 WR? He'll never be a big play guy but can be a good possession guy and red zone target.

To me that makes him a viable #3 not a #2. I think Reggie Brown is a #2. I find it hard to make a case for him as a #1 from what I have seen so far.Hank Baskett disappeared in too many games. Its not like he he stepped up in those games that Stallworth missed.

 

[Ron_Mexico]

I think we a jumping the gun on Hank Baskett.

We haven't seen enough of him,

and I'm willing to give the kid

the benefit of the doubt.

I still think he has a good chance

of becoming a solid

starting WR in this league.

 

[Rovers]

Funny, Copper and Henderson are good depth behind Horn, but Baskett sucks and has no chance to develop. Did you say the same thing about Cotchery? Or any number of other rookie WR's that needed a year (or more) to adjust to a pro offense and the NFL?

You know what they say about opinions.... everyone has one, but it's the second part of that cliche that comes to mind here.... fine to express an onpinion, but don't show us the other thing everyone has however.

See me in a year when Baskett puts up 30 catches and 500 yards (if that).Baskett's first year stats are similar to Henderson's first year so yes he could develop. I just dont see the same skill set. He doesnt have Henderson's speed. They are not the same type of WR so it is probably a bad anlalogy.I thought Copper did more with his opportunities than did Baskett and looked better doing so. At you questioning someone having an opinion on a FF messageboard. What am I NOT supposed to have an opinion?

Don't mean to pile on PP, but I was about to make the same point Rovers just made a moment ago. You're opinion on Copper is much higher than Baskett's, but save for opportunity last season, I don't see that much of a difference. Conversely, I think Baskett has the talent to make more of an impact than Copper does, all things being equal. The problem with last season was all things were not equal. Copper's situation was better. Next season may be different. I am with those who are not willing to write off Baskett just yet.

LOL, no, Opinions are what it's all about. People change my mind on players a lot when they have solid opinions and make a good case. That's why I frequent this place. It was the "delusional" comment I objected to... and sorry, I am a bit cranky lately! It's comments like that which often cause a good discussion of opinions to go downhill. Copper.... wasn't he cut from the Dallas taxi squad? He's been around the NFL a bit, more than Baskett, and for his first year and change couldn't make an active roster. I happen to like Copper myself (he had better improve with his ball security), and I think Baskett has some potential as well. He was, after all a rookie. He showed some flashes, and based on that, I give him some potential upside. In fact, he reminds me of Cotchery a lot. Cotch, while he'll never be a pro bowler, makes for a pretty good WR#2. I can see Baskett doing the same, but it's crystal balling.... and there are no sure hits, or sure misses. Those are opinions..... and not anything written in stone, which makes for calling another's opinion delusional a bit personal, as opoosed to a reasonable exchange of player assessments. Hopefully, no harm, no foul.

 

[lod2005]

The Giants are probably too stupid to add a PROVEN WR to the roster to help the erratic Eli. They love Tim Carter's suckiness.

I apologize for the delusional comment. I just dont see how you can be comfortable going into 2007 with Hank Baskett as your #2 receiver. I guess it is because I think Stallworth is PERFECT for the Eagles and think it stubborn and shortsighted to not sign Stallworth even if it takes a little more than they like spending.Same thing probably could have been said about the Patriots and Branch last year. There is no way of telling without a crystal ball but it is possible that the Branch fiasco cost the Pats another championship.

I agree, no doubt, Philly is in a position where I think they have to bite the bullet and over pay Stallworth, if that's what it takes. I'm not sure they will. Having said that, I think Baskett may prove to be a cheaper but somewhat reliable option, while at the same time being a significant down grade. McNabb has suffered through far too many lousy WR's at Philly so far. They get away with it to some degree due to how good Westbrook is. WR's, both in the draft and after a year or two in the NFL have to be the hardest position to project. Guys like Colston and Boldin just freakin blow up, and half the first round WR's never do a derned thing in the NFL. Heck, I thought McCariens was gonna be the shiznet when the Jets got him. Can't get it any more wrong than that.

Problem is, I think it's going to take a lot more than they'd like to sign Stallworth. He's the only real viable #1 quality WR on the open market, there are a lot of teams that need WR help and there's a lot of money available under the cap. He'll end up getting an eye popping contract from someone.

 

[mad sweeney]

Not to hijack this Stallworth/Eagles/Baskett thread with DJack trade talks but...

World, meet DJ Hackett

 

[wannabee]

What does this do for Branch? Also, how owuld Engram and Burleson be used if both still in Seattle?

 

[mad sweeney]

What does this do for Branch? Also, how owuld Engram and Burleson be used if both still in Seattle?

I think Branch will be productive yardage wise, not necessarily TD wise. I think DJ Hackett will be the TD guy since he has speed to break one and size to be a redzone threat. Engram will remain the stalwart slot guy, Mr Third Down. Burleson looks to have carved a nice niche as a punt returner and would probably remain the 4th WR.

 

[softball]

Not to hijack this Stallworth/Eagles/Baskett thread with DJack trade talks but...World, meet DJ Hackett

Branch would become a stud. He can catch everything Hasselback throws and DJ Hackett reminded me of a hard working Hines Ward kind of WR. This would be a decent tandem, not as dynamic as DJax and Branch but nearly as productive IMO

 

[Rovers]

Speaking of Engram, isn't he an FA? I was thinking he'd be the odd man out....

 

[billymays]

from what was said during the season, it sounds to me like darrell jackson is starting to get a little bone on bone in his knees. while im sure he could pass a physical, any doctor could probably give a team a heads up that he only has a few seasons left at best if he has chondromalacia(bone on bone). i think teams will shy away from his past production and realize that he could go down hill quick.

sorry i didnt mean to turn this into a darrell jackson thread

i dont see why hank baskett couldnt be an above average #2.

he has skills(7ft high jumper), size, hands, smart, runs good routes and wants to get better.

i thought he had a pretty decent rookie year for a receiver.

 

[Slider]

This Stallworth love is a joke. The guy can't stay healthy and has never cracked 1,000 yards. DJax, if healthy (and that's a lot more promising than it is with Stall) is better.

He will have a hard time finding a better situation than Seattle to put up big numbers. Feb. 25 - 9:06 am etSource: The News Tribune

Get ready for DJ Hackett to be a top 20 fantasy WR if DJax is not with SEA this upcoming season.

my thoughts exactly

 

[QUEZILLA]

He is from Tampa, and went to high school a few miles from Ray Jay. He actually coached me at a few basketball camps when I was younger.

I would love to have him on the Buc's, but he is injury prone. then again, so is JG, and that's worked out well

 

[Team Legacy]

Man, some of u guys really no how to throw a thread off track.

Dynasty speaking:

Branch bumps up 10-15 spots or so to 20-25.

Hackett bumps up 10 spots or so to 35-40 range

I think the real winner here will be Burleson. Ya, he's disappeared the last few years without CPeps deep ball, but I think he has what it takes to be a top 25 WR.

Ya, he's disappeared the last few years without CPeps deep ball, but I think he has what it takes to be a top 25 WR.

I jusyt don't see it. He was pretty average at best before Branch arrived and with hackett emerging, it's clear that Nate isn't one of the starters in Seattle. And as long as Engram is there, the slot is locked. Burleson could be on the outside looking in, waiting for an injury or 4 WR sets to play. But he's proven valuable at returns so he'll still keep his feet wet. Unless Engram also leaves, I don't think Burleson is much of a factor ff wise. A great backup for the Hawks though!

And Djax more than likely bumps down a few (depending on where he goes) and Hasselbeck bumps down a couple notches as well.

This Stallworth love is a joke. The guy can't stay healthy and has never cracked 1,000 yards. DJax, if healthy (and that's a lot more promising than it is with Stall) is better.

Cant stay healthy? That is a bit overblown. He missed 4 games last year and played 16 games in each of the 2 previous seasons.He had a very good 2005 as a #2 with NO and had an excellent 2006 with Philly with a 19.1 ypc. Look beyond the stats, he looked very good in that offense. He had 725 in 11 games (missed 4 games to injury and sat out the week 17 meaningless game).I'd like to see the Pats sign him although I think Drew Bennett is a better fit for their offense.

I don't think you can point to durability as a reason Jackson is a better option. Neither he nor Stallworth has proven to be durable. Both seem to be very soft.Stallworth is more explosive and seems to fit the Eagles system well. Jackson would probably more consistent and be a better go to guy in important situations.To me, the issue is that the Eagles could have nailed down Stallworth earlier in the season. It would have cost them the difference between a 4th round pick and a 3rd round pick to do so. I think that is why they hesitated. In hindsight, it was a very bad move because they probably will be unable to resign Stallworth...or at worst will be paying him a lot more money than it would have taken at the beginning of the year.It will probably take more than the difference between a 3rd and 4th to get Jackson...although I think the talk of a 1st round pick is crazy. I don't think Seattle will get anything close to that.

I don't think you bump up Branch or Hackett as much as you bump Jeremy Stevens.

How would D Jax do in Green Bay?
