Vikings sending QB Jackson to Seahawks?
Quarterback Tarvaris Jackson(notes) has struggled to meet the expectations of Minnesota Vikings fans ever since he was selected by the team in the second round of the 2006 draft out of Alabama State. Now he might not need to worry about that anymore.
ESPN 610 Seattle reports that Jackson may be getting traded to the Seattle Seahawks once the players and owners finally agree upon the new CBA. There he can join former Vikings' offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell.
"Seattle would get a quarterback who looks very good in practice, has a big-time arm and athletically is gifted," Minneapolis Star Tribune Vikings beat reporter Jeff Zulgad told the station. Zulgad also notes that Jackson has been practicing with Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald(notes) this offseason. "Tarvaris has really dedicated himself to being in shape, and coming into whichever camp he goes into in far better condition than he did last year."

Reports indicate Seahawks have agreed to terms with Tarvaris Jackson
The Seattle Seahawks have reportedly found their replacement for Matt Hasselbeck.
Dave Mahler of KJR 950 AM first reported on Twitter that the Seahawks agreed to terms Tuesday with free-agent quarterback Tarvaris Jackson, moments after multiple reports surfaced that Hasselbeck does not plan to re-sign with the Seahawks. Danny O’Neil of The Seattle Times later confirmed Mahler’s report, as well.
Unrestricted free agents cannot sign contracts with teams until Friday, but the negotiation period between teams and free agents began at 7 a.m. Pacific Time on Tuesday.
ESPN’s John Clayton reported last week that the Seahawks were interested in Jackson, who spent the first five seasons of his career in Minnesota. During that time, the Vikings’ offensive coordinator was Darrell Bevell, who was hired in January by Seahawks coach Pete Carroll to fill that same position in Seattle.
Jackson’s familiarity with Bevell likely played a key role in facilitating an offer from Seattle. With a very limited window of time for players to learn new playbooks and new coaches to implement new systems, it could be to the Seahawks’ advantage to have a starting quarterback who as at least some familiarity with Bevell’s system.
Jackson is 10-10 in 20 career starts, sitting behind Brett Favre in Minnesota the last two seasons. Jackson has started just six games since 2007, when he started 12 games and threw for 1,911 yards with nine touchdowns and 12 interceptions.

Matt Hasselbeck to be a Titan
The Tennessee Titans swooped in Wednesday on Matt Hasselbeck, reaching agreement with the free-agent quarterback on a multi-year contract, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
News broke Tuesday that the Seattle Seahawks wouldn't re-sign the 35-year-old Hasselbeck. Instead, the Seahawks agreed to a deal with former Minnesota Viking Tarvaris Jackson, multiple sources told ESPN.
The Titans are expected to groom Jake Locker, the eighth pick in the draft in April, to be their starter of the future.
Hasselbeck will turn 36 in September. His prior contract was signed before the start of the 2005 season and was followed by him leading the Seahawks to their only Super Bowl appearance.
Hasselbeck threw for 272 yards and a career playoff-high four touchdowns in engineering the Seahawks' upset victory over defending Super Bowl champion Saints in last season's playoffs.
