Saints and 49ers may make play for Jackson

With a glut of receivers, the Seahawks might entertain offers for Darrell Jackson.
If the Seahawks are shopping wide receiver Darrell Jackson for a trade, as has been rumored, there could be a few takers.
The question is whether the Seahawks are considering parting with one of the franchise's most productive receivers. The team isn't saying if it is seeking to move Jackson.
But things happen fast in the NFL, and Jackson could go in a draft-day trade next month if the Seahawks can get what they feel is good value for the seven-year pro.
"He'd like to retire as a Seahawk," Brian Mooney, Jackson's agent, said Wednesday. "But they've brought in Deion Branch, [Nate] Burleson, they have [Bobby] Engram back. They've got an awful lot of receivers."
this might sound crazy, but i don't really know jackson that good. this might be because i rarely see a seahawk's game. is he really that good? is he a speed or possesion receiver? is he a leader?

They would do a lot better to trade Bobby "Oops" Engram than Jackson.
Engram is one of the most consistent recievers on the team. You are stuck on the Engram of 3 years ago. Engram was solid for us last year. He was very good at running his route and we could count on him to catch the ball when it came to him.

Jackson is good. He can have some drop problems sometimes but can also make spectacular catches. He has decent break-away speed. The best break-away speed on the Hawks. He is average at blocking and the little stuff. He does his part. In the end if the Hawks have to go to a long big time play Jackson is the person they want to pass to.

Would it be smart to trade him to SF
Id try to keep him out of the division, and especially keep him from an up and coming team who has a need their. Unless SF offers their #1

True, Engram was solid for you last year. At least in the handful of games he played. Engram is old, and he was not exactly healthy or consistent in the first place. His career is more or less done, I give him no more than two seasons. Jackson's is not, and he has been a much larger contributor than Engram recently. It was only the combo of Branch, Jackson, Burleson, and occasionally Hackett that allowed your offense to be productive enough to still make the playoffs after losing your "talented aspect" for most of the season. Want to break that combo up now, let alone trade your #1 wideout to a division rival? Not a very good idea IMO. The West is heating up as it is. You really need to keep all the talent you can if you intend to stay on top of it.

Engram was good for the Hawks last year yes. He is getting old though. You are wrong in one area though. And I quote:
"It was only the combo of Branch, Jackson, Burleson, and occasionally Hackett that allowed your offense to be productive enough to still make the playoffs after losing your "talented aspect" for most of the season."
That is incorrect. Burleson barely played WR. Hacket was actually more productive and consistent then Branch and Burleson. Hacket was the Hawks best WR last season because DJack got injured.
And ya, I dont want to lose Jackson, unless of course we get something really good for him.
