Parker agrees to terms, still in negotiations with Jackson

[4th Amigo]

Just heard on NFL network that Adam Shefter is reporting that we signed Sammie Parker, and are in contract negotiations with Jackson. That is a suprise, I didn't think we would go after BOTH of them......cool, works for me!

[fraguela09]

Signing both, along with signing both FS/SS... Makes me think we'll trade for Dewayne Robertson, then address OL, RB, LB with our early draft picks.

[Soldier96B]

yeah I jusy watched and heard that too. That is great. I hope we get Jackson too. that would be out flipping standing. BMarsh, Parker, Jackson, and that other guy we got from indy lol. Yeah outstanding WR core, incredible QB, lil rocky RB core, but we will strengthen that through the draft, young but getting better defence, and draft a solid OT in ryan clady or chris williams. I see championship in the making. It is looking pretty good in Denver right now.

Help me out...I don't understand...why would we trade for Dewayne Robertson when we already signed him....and what does that have to do with us signing receivers and safties?

[GridironChamp]

Get Jackson and I'd agree its looking like a good offseason for Denver... I just cant say I'm dissapointed about Parker leaving or ending up in Denver. (He had as many drops as catches)

We havent signed him. We have a new contract negotiated already, so in the eventuality we do trade for him, we have the contract already figured out. It deals with the others because those are positions we no longer need to focus on in the draft.

[Al Wilson 4 Mayor]

We have a contract in place for Robertson, but he is not signed. He can't be signed until a trade is finalized.

[Spyder]

Who is Jackson?

There's like 500 people in the league with that last name..

[Bowie Man]

Help me out...I don't understand...why would we trade for Dewayne Robertson when we already signed him....and what does that have to do with us signing receivers and safties?

We only agreed on a contract with Robertson, not on a trade with the Jets. When and if we do agree on terms. That will be the contract for him.:salute:

[GridironChamp]

There's like 200 people in the league that that last name..

You took the words out of my mouth. With his injury and cost... Dewayne Robertson would only fit in DENVER if he's willing to renegotiate his contract. Denver wont assume the risk, at a cost of 10 million a year AND two draft picks.

SO.. if they can reach a deal w/ Robertson... They'll be willing to ship 2 picks to NY...

AND... if DEN gets Robertson... Jax and Parker... Safe to say DEN doesn't need to draft a FS, WR, or DT early on... I would think these moves suggest that they'll probably target OL & RB.

Oooooh that's right. Thanks.

When you ask a question around here you get answers and fast. There were three answers between the time I clicked post reply and submit reply.:salute:

[japfaff]

Personally I dont think that either of them is the answer. I like Parker better than Jackson. but remember last year all we were saying was now the Chargers receiving corps sucked. Now you are happy that we got one of the starters? Am I missing something? I guess some people just love the uniform and not the player

Parker is Sammie Parker from Kansas City last year.

Even worse than Eric parker.

[fraguela09]

While I don't think D-Jax is a lock to be our #2 WR for the next 5 years... I do have this to say:

(1) WHo wouldn't struggle in San Fran?
(2) He has proven to be a force... Has #'s to show it.
(3) He doesn't have to be the man in DEN.

I would rather spend 7 million next year to have Jax, Parker & Colbert than to have signed one big ticket free agent like Bryant Johnson... Odds are better for success.

I think in this offense, with Cutler's arm, with Jax's speed, with Marsh-Scheff-Stokley... I think Jax could be that long threat we need.

[Peerless]

Bring in Jackson and I'll be satisfied.

[The|Snake#16]

God D-Jack sucks.

[eggertj]

Jackson isn't a bad pickup, but its not a good one either. Parker... god awful. Wasted cap money IMO.

[Ravage!!!]

Jackson isn't a bad pickup, but its not a good one either. Parker... god awful. Wasted cap money IMO.

Its not wasted cap money if they don't make the roster. Neither one of these guys are meant to be a super star WR. But guess what, there are no super star WRs available. Parker is just as good as Martinez, if not better.

Anyone that thinks Darrell Jackson is that bad hasn't explained how he was able to AVERAGE 61 catches over the last 8 years when being so horrible. :confused:

Jackson is NOT bad, and will make a nice compliment to the WR corp. He's a good signing. Do you guys remember what happened to our receiving group last year and injuries?? We were decimated in a HURRY. One injury and we were hurting and hurting FAST. These are good depth signings.

[rich_thunder]

Exactly, if we can get an upgrade over Martinez then ill be a happy camper.

[Peerless]

I just wonder how serious the Brandon Marshall injury really is...

Could all this receiver news be because Marshall won't be ready, or just for some solid depth?

[Ravage!!!]

I don't think there is any hidden mystery here. I think we've seen Shanahan do this before when the team suffered major injuries at a position. Last year, Denver was in dire straights when we had some receiver injuries. Getting some solid depth and guys to win those starting roles is going to be important for our offense.

Marshall is going to be just fine.

[4th Amigo]

At this point, I would definitely say just for depth.....But if we draft a WR in the 1st in the draft......then I might start to wonder about Brandon's injury.

I mean c'mon, we definitely need some WR depth, and I am sure Shanny is just looking for options.....

[GridironChamp]

I dont understand on being down on Jackson... He is VERY capable of being a second WR in alot of WR corps.

I agree with Ravage, why do you Jackson haters dislike him so?

[beastlyskronk]

Get Jackson and I'd agree its looking like a good offseason for Denver... I just cant say I'm dissapointed about Parker leaving or ending up in Denver. (He had as many drops as catches)

He'll probably be a return man here. Keary Colbert will probably end up being the 4th WR this year with D-Jax (if he comes) at the No. 2. That's way better than having Colbert there. Glenn Martinez will probably be the odd man out.

One thing though. I thought we needed a deep threat. D-Jax isn't a deep threat. He's basically the same thing a B-Marsh but without the ability to break and avoid tackles. I guess Sammie Parker can be a deep threat if he works on his hands. Keary Colbert could also do it but he's a bit slower in pads.

[Double_L]

I dont understand on being down on Jackson... He is VERY capable of being a second WR in alot of WR corps.

It probably has something to do with him being terrible in San Francisco. He was technically the #1 there though, I could see him doing some good things as the #2 here in Denver.

[24bailey24]

I will be happy if we sign D-Jack! :salute:

[eabort]

I hope Parker was cheap! I like D. Jackson better and hope we sign him. At least he can run routes and catch the ball.

[The|Snake#16]

Living in Oregon I see every seattle game every year, and if you've ever watched the guy, you'd know why. I would honestly rather have Colbert or Parker in the #2 spot, which is saying something.

remember guys (all of you) we signed Marlon McCree and Marquand Manuel as quick fixes, temporary band-aids... so don't think our safety problems are solved. Both of those safeties are old and also both are FREE safeties who can play STRONG safety.... I really think we need to draft a pure STRONG safety so that we can be set for years at safety with Abdullah anchoring Free safety and the draft pick being a natural STRONG safety

I WANT A STRONG SAFETY FOR DRAFT DAY!!

[KobeChamp24]

I hope we sign both of them. The competition between Colbert, Parker, and Jackson for that #2 spot will bring out the best in them.

[japfaff]

It probably has something to do with him being terrible in San Francisco. He was technically the #1 there though, I could see him doing some good things as the #2 here in Denver.

In his defense though... Jerry Rice in his prime woulda sucked with the QB's that San Fran has

I would feel beter if we had any talent at safety.... I dont see Abdullah as the answer. I say take a player in the 5-7 round range, and let Lynch teach him for a year and see where we are at then

I would much MUCH rather draft a FS than a SS. I have NO trust in Abdullah, and think we need the ball hawker.

[35istheFuture]

MARLON FRICKING MCCREE IS OUR SS!!!!!!!!!!!
do you not think he will do good? he will

[Bowie Man]

Hamza IS a ball hawk. 7 tips and 2 were picked off and 2 FF while recovering 1. He's a great young SS/FS. He can play and has during his career.

To someone else who said Manuel is old. No he's only 29. Also he had his best year with Green Bay under Bob Slowik our current D Coordinator. McCree will start and Manuel will bring back the Big Nickel essentially make Mike Shannahan a liar because he said he was going to sign Sam Brandon to a contract.

I don't consider Abdullah a ballhawk at all, and HOPE dearly that we are looking for a FS. But... it most probably won't happen in this draft. Thats why the signing of the other two guys, to buy us a couple of years.

[D_Broncs_913]

im lost which jackson?

Darrell Jackson.......

um, nope...

[bleedbluorange]

[beastlyskronk]

Nope.....it's Tito Jackson

I thought it was Tom Jackson

[Momentum]

Sammie Parker is a cool pick. Hopefully he makes the team. Jackson was really good in Seattle but caught the dropsies more than you'd like. Between them and Colbert we may not need to take a WR this year.

[BroncoBailey024]

I don't know why you guys are so excited, I watched Parker play almost every sunday due to me living in Kansas City and he sucks.

He has stone hands and always drops the clutch catch 90% of the time.

[Al Wilson 4 Mayor]

Well said....Jackson had several very good years in Seattle. He was the leading receiver there the last year he was there, even with the aquisition of Deion Branch. He would be much more likely to start than Colbert, and would be very productive if he can play like he use to in Seattle.

Hopefully Parker wont have to make the clutch catch. Cause hopefully he's not on the field. If Parker is on the field in the clutch than our season wont be going very well. I hope he pushes our other recievers and nothing more.


We've seen this before with players like Garrison Hearst and Jerry Rice.

[Al Wilson 4 Mayor]

I believe it's actually Jesse Jackson you are thinking of.

Really.... :coffee:

[CHINESECHICKEN]

I believe it's actually Jesse Jackson you are thinking of.

no i believe its randy jackson your thinking of... :D

[jay who ?]

if you like that one you should have read an earlier statement by rivers owns donks he said "for 3/4 of the season thats almost 1/2"

[BroncoBoy2012]

there is this kid from Minnesota, Dominique Barber, who is the same size as Lynch and played SS. Marlon and Dominique can battle for SS then Marquand can be his back-up and Lynch can have Abdullah fighting for #2.

improving the secondary isn't an immediate issue at this time though. as MANY people have already said Dewayne Robertson should be a bronco. on draft day Dan Connor can get picked up by trading down and the main issues for the front 7 are solved. This will be the starting D in 2008:

DE - Elvis Dumervil, Jarvis Moss/Tim Crowder (sack masters)
DT - Marcus Thomas, D-Rob (big boys)
WLB - DJ Williams (tackling machine)
MLB - Dan Connor (brick wall):fight:
SLB - Boss Bailey (blitzer)
CB - Champ Bailey (Mr. INT), Dre Bly (tip-to-pick), D. Fox. (nickle)
FS - John Lynch (Ol' Man hard hitter)
SS - Marlon Mcree (on TE lock-down duty)

[BroncoBoy2012]

you freaking people taking about Jesse Jackson and the Jackson 5 stop. this is a broncos message board.

about the MLB position, DJ should move back outside. it is his natural place and we can bring in 1 of 5 options:
1) Al Wilson - knows the team and is experienced (+ a free agent)
2) Dan Connor - monster from the Linebacker U.
3) Jerod Mayo - will be available in rd 2 and is the #2 LB in the draft
4) Beau Bell - good player and talented enough to play for Denver
5) Ben Moffit - fast S.O.B.

[BRONCOS_OWN_U16]

jackson had 10 TDs two seasons ago. The guy can play.

only problem is somtimes he has a stretch where he cant catch anything. if his hands were better he might be concidered one of the top WR's.

[Broncosfan002]

You are correct. Stop talking about Jesse Jackson. Jesse isnt a free agent. What about Action Jackson?

NO its from the UFC... Quinton "RAMPAGE" Jackson:rockon::fight:

[Bronco-24]

Never have seen any of these Wideouts play before. Can anyone give me a brief description of them and their play??

[ronclon]

I don't know why you guys are so excited, I watched Parker play almost every sunday due to me living in Kansas City and he sucks.

This is totally ignorant. I have no idea where Samie got this rep for dropping passes because it just isn't true. He led all Chiefs wide receivers in catch percentage last year catching 62% of the passes that were intended for him. And he has pretty much averaged that percentage over his career.

Parker has been a victim of having Herm Edwards be his coach. Herm has made no secret that he wants big receivers. The only reason Parker was brought back last season was because he and Kennison were the only receivers with experience.

Also in 2005,Vermeils last season as coach and Parkers first significant playing time(9 starts), he looked like a good young prospect with 36 catches for over 500 yards, almost 15 yards per catch. Herm comes in and suddenly his per catch average drops significantly and he can barely surpass the number of catches and yards he had in 2005 while starting the entire season. Then last year he was the supposed "starter" yet Jeff Webb was thrown to more often (and with no better results I might add). Seriously, how many catches do you think he should have had when he was only thrown to 39 times all season?

This is a good pickup for Broncos. At worst he will push the other receivers in camp and get cut, at best he could be the steal of free agency and finally be able to utilize his speed (he was a 3 time all america in track at Oregon).
