NFL News: Seattle Seahawks Allowed To Talk To Disgruntled WR Vincent Jackson

News

The Seattle Seahawks were granted permission to talk to Jackson by the San Diego Chargers.

The NFL network is reporting that while the Seahawks have been given permission to talk to Jackson, neither a contact or a trade are expected very soon.

The Seahawks have spent the offseason revamping their roster, including at receiver, where they’d like an upgrade because of T.J. Houshmandzadeh’s lowered production, Deion Branch’s injury issues and Nate Burleson’s free-agent departure to the Detroit Lions. The Seahawks spent a second-round draft pick on Notre Dame’s Golden Tate and are giving former first-rounder Mike Williams another shot at the NFL.
