Tarvaris Jackson signs with Seattle. (2 Viewers)

[3nOut]

In FF terms, I would downgrade all Seattle Wide Receivers and upgrade Lynch. I think they will lean on him much more this year, and with a year of knowing the playbook, he can be a decent sleeper this year.

Sounds like Rice is right behind him, I'm hearing the the deal is pretty much done.

If the Rice rumor is true.

Here's how I think(and hope) these QB signings mean.

Leinart is the same type of signing that Mike Williams, Reggie Williams, and LenDale White were a year ago. BMW panned out, the other 2 didn't and were released. It would not surprise me to see Leinart released before the season.

Jackson already knows Bevell's system and is the type of athlete Carroll covets. I haven't seen the details of the contract, but I doubt it is much to write home about.

If the offseason progresses with no other high profile QB sign or trade, I see Jackson winning the starting job. Whitehurst has shown absolutely nothing that would inspire confidence in his play.

From who?

Without much threat at QB or WR, I'd think Lynch should be downgraded, not upgraded.

Great place for him to land

ESPN's John Clayton reports Tarvaris Jackson's contract with the Seahawks will be for $8 million over two years.In other words, he's getting the same contract Charlie Whitehurst received last season. The two players will stand on equal footing entering training camp. We're giving Jackson the clear edge considering his history with coordinator Darrell Bevell.

can you imagine being in the room when this was brought up? everyone laughing at the good joke. then someone says "seriously, we dont need kolb, tavaris is our qb". and 6 ambulances are called to deal with all the heart attacks. last i read, he's getting the same money as whitehurst. this will have my vote for the dumbest move of this season.

What has Kolb done to give a king's ransom for him?? Asking price doesn't match the talent.

No offense, but I'd much rather have a physically more gifted QBs like Luck or Barkley than giving the multiple picks Philly desires.

I'm really seeing a "he's the best there is... til the best comes along" type mentality with this guy. This messed up environment is really contributing to the hype-ification too.
