Darrell Jackson deal today?

According to the Denver Post, a deal for Darrell Jackson is imminent, possibly even being signed today.

Like most everyone else, the Samie Parker signing doesn’t do much for me. To be sure, his numbers were somewhat depressed by the abyss that was KC’s offense last season, but they’ve had a long history of having crappy wide receivers, despite being a high powered offense in the glory days of Trent Green. So being at the bottom of their list was a lot like being at the bottom of our list of wide receivers. Say, somewhere in the vicinity of Ashley Lelie.

But Jackson? I’m excited about Jackson. I want to know why he didn’t succeed in San Francisco. (I have a theory, but it’s not a very good one). He has a good history, and he put up some good numbers in Seattle. He’s made a fantasy team or two pretty happy, too. I think he looks really good paired up across from Marshall, though I am a little concerned that he’s considered to have ‘middling’ speed, and one thing we really need is someone like Lelie, only with hands.

There also appears to be some concern that he’s had an attitude problem. My hope, though, is that a bad year in San Francisco will have put the stoppers on any attitude problems he may have. After all, he’s going to have to put up with Marshall for at least a season, and we all know that kid can get cocky!

No matter how you slice it, having Jackson and Colbert competing is a lot better than having Colbert and Parker competing.
