PrintIt feels like the NFL Draft, doesn't it? He said, she said when it comes to these rookie contract signings. Anyway, the latest from Brad Biggs of the National Football Post is that the Kansas City Chiefs and third overall pick Tyson Jackson are "getting closer" to an agreement.
Crabtree isn’t the only Parker client missing camp. Defensive end Tyson Jackson, selected third by Kansas City, has yet to report to River Falls, Wis., but a source with knowledge of the situation said late Sunday night that the sides were ``closer.’’
An agreement could come soon.
Biggs is a Chicago Sun-Times reporter so the Haley connection is there as the head coach used to work for the Bears. He also covered Cedric Benson's 2005 holdout, when the rookie was represented by Jackson's agent Eugene Parker.
The National Football Post's Michael Lombardi has been spot on with several reports regarding the Chiefs so we'll have to wait this one out.
Upon his arrival at Chiefs training camp last Thursday, rookie DE Alex Magee said Jackson told him he was getting close to an agreement. Yesterday, 610 Sports' Nick Wright reported that the Jackson camp said the Chiefs were waiting on fourth overall pick Aaron Curry to do a deal first.

TYSON JACKSON needs to step up so big
He really is make or break i think for us we have spent big money on our D line this guy needs to pan out and so does glen dorsey they both need to pan out or we are going to be in trouble.
FOUR F'S FIND UM FEEL UM FUGUM FORGET UM.
Agreed
Both guys need to perform this year if we want to have any kind of “D”, but i think Dorsey is the one with his job on the line this year, especially with the injury problems.
I really think Dorsey would have thrived in a 4-3 defense, but im not to sure how he’ll do in the hybrid "D"’s.
Dorsey's lame effort
It’s pretty hard to believe Glen Dorsey is so not ready for camp he cannot pass the conditioning test three whole days into camp. What’s up with that? Did he pass it a month ago and just let himself go to $h*t over the last month? For the kinda dough that guy is pulling down, this is simply inexcusable. I’ve been one of his biggest supporters and in favor of keeping him even in a 3-4 alignment, but the man has to put his carcass on the field of play. If he can’t do that, we should punt and trade his sorry a$$ off to someone else.
Might be because he's hurt.
A lot of reports mention his left shin.

to be fair
Dorsey has always been the type of guy to play through injuries.
My guess is that the coaching staff isn’t taking any chances with him, and they aren’t letting him practice.
I bet if he was allowed to practice, he’d be out there.
