Jackson has had injury problems for the past couple of years as long as contract issues - apparently the prior managment made a verbal agreement to up his contract - then they were let go
new mgmt didn't agree to up his contract and he's been at odds with them ever since
after seattle traded for Branch and gave him a new deal Jackson started to write "DB Money" on his shoes - he also has completely skipped all offseason training programs with the team for the past couple of years - not only does that upset timing with the QBs, the ability to hone some of the issues that have cropped up - but also leads the staff to wonder if doing his own conditioning is helping his injuries to the extent that working out with the teamwould
the guy has that laid back florida approach to the game - this is shown by his drops, his demeanor through the game and that he really doesn't impose himself as much as he should
with that said, when he's on he's a flat out amazing receiver - capable of bursting big plays, making tough grabs and taking over a game - he has 7 years in a WCO and should transition into SF smoothly - not sure how many years he has ahead of himself, but he can still play - i'll definitely miss watching him in the AZ game as he usually showed up well against the cards
I don't like the same division trade - but divisional impact is a lot less than it used to - I also don't like how this thins the receiving corp - but it makes room for DJ Hackett to emerge and puts the pressure on burleson to perform as a WR - this also cements branch as the go to option - right now I see the depth chart as Branch, Hackett, Engram, Burleson - not a bad foursome, but not much behind them
