PrintUpdate 5:25 PM: Nick Wright of 610 Sports reports it as a FIVE year deal
The Kansas City Chiefs and first round pick Tyson Jackson have agreed to terms according to Brad Biggs of the National Football Post.
(Edit: Do they break every big Chiefs story? Solid source here.)
There's been some interest in the Jackson deal, especially because agent Eugene Parker also represents Michael Crabtree who appears to be primed for a long holdout.
The deal Jason Smith selected 2nd overall by the Rams signed was for $33 million over five years (really, a six year deal that voids to five) with an average of $6.6 million of guaranteed money per year. That's the number to keep an eye on.
Nick Wright of 610 Sports is also reporting this and characterized it as a "deal in principle" and should be in camp on Friday.
Here's the timeline of the Jackson signing:
- July 30th: Rams sign Jason Smith; Ceiling set for Chiefs' Jackson
- July 31st: Fellow rookie Alex Magee says he's talked to Jackson and they're "close" to a deal
- August 2nd: The Jackson camp tells Nick Wright of 610 Sports that the Chiefs are waiting on the Seahawks to complete a contract with fourth overall pick Aaron Curry
- August 3rd: Brad Biggs of the National Football Posts the two sides are "getting closer" to a deal
(Note: Original posting time was 5:08 PM. Bumped up the time to fit the 8/6 camp update behind it)

That is the plan
He spent all his time so far at LDE, Tank at NT, Dorsey/Magee at RDE
Chiefs go 9-7. LJ makes 1400 yards. DBowe makes 1200 yards. Defense #18.
Zodeman is correct...
Jackson is at LDE…
Magee will play RDE, but has been playing all three positions during OTA’s and training camp.
So will Vrabel be outside Jackson on left
or on the right?

Correct
Vrabel will be the LOLB, it’s where he plays best. Hali will be ROLB, the primary rushing position.

So definitely Vrabel is Sam
Hali is Jack or Predator?

I have faith in Tyson Jackson
This defense could be impressive this year…not so sure about the offense…especially if they keep getting dominated in 11 on 11’s
Offense
has been getting dominated without Jackson. Imagine whats gunna happen now. If Jackson plays LDE, our RG..Mr. Goff..is going to have his hands full.
Goff really needs to teach Jackson some tricks to break down the O-line quicker

Seems like their was a post about Jackson on here after
the recent mini camps where Jackson said he had to think of new things to use against Goff since Goff had been in the League so long and seen most everything. He was sorta suggesting that some mentoring was already taking place.
"But what do I know, I'm AP's new assclown and I’m like an empty room with a large ECHO"
Maybe Goff and Jackson roomies

...or, 1 $300 hookerbot, or 300 $1 hookerbots?
Me too.
When I read about crabtree i started steaming. I’m glad it didn’t happen hear.
Makes me think that the crabtree hold out is because of crabtree….

I commented
On the Crabtree holdout fanshot..I was really worried
Parker saying Crabs shoulda been taken higher. Chiefs could hold the same arguement that Jackson should have been drafted lower. Parker countered with Matt Ryans money at #3 last year and Jackson should get the same type of deal. Then they said Chiefs were waitin on Curry. Then Seahawks said they were waiting on Jackson.
I was prepared for a long hold out. Possibly into next week. I am SO glad that didnt happen.
Get him on a plane!
Chiefs 2009: 6-10 or 7-9 and only one season from the Playoffs.
Okay Tyson............
Spend some of that money and get your ass on a plane for River falls hoss!!!!!!!
"Every human is afforded the right to be stupid, unfortunately some abuse the privelage"
Any guesses on details?
5 years 31M guaranteed 58.5M total(with incentives)?

Finally...
Now we are loaded and ready, I hope this is the beginning of a new D and a new attitude for this team, I new posting but i read AP since last year. Hope the Herm Edwards era is burned and buried. Go Chiefs!!!!!!

Wasn't it the National Football Post...
that reported on draft day that Cassel had been signed to a long-term contract? With figures much higher than the actual contract Cassel signed?
I think so, and I think it was Lombardi at NFP

Well
NFP reported $36 million guaranteed, which if you add the $7.5 million roster bonus due in year two (nearly guaranteed he’ll get that ) it totals $36 million.
They also reported the Gonzalez to ATL talks way before anyone else.
They also were the first to report that the Chiefs were in love with Tyson Jackson.
Not true
I was :)

NFP wins again
Numerous sources (ESPN, KC Star, etc.) say that while progress has been made, it’s close, it should happen soon (blah blah blah), nothing has actually been agreed to or signed.
Don’t know if anybody already mentioned this but apparently Coach Haley sent Devard Darling off the practice field today for a false start telling him, “Run over to that building and I don’t care if you come back.” Then when he tried to come back, Haley sent him into the locker room. I heard this from someone interviewed on 610sports who was at the practice today.
I heard the same story on 610

Yeah I mentioned that in the camp update
Though…that post is now down the tubes with the TJ signing.
Very true.
I haven’t even had a chance to read the camp update post yet.

It was because Darling lined up in the wrong spot.

That was adam tiecher of the kc star reporting from camp
I wouldnt be surprised if darling is cut,with the jackson signing
he also said tyler isnt the starter right now,but edwards is? Is that right
by Bestofthewest on Aug 6, 2009 6:52 PM CDT up reply actions
I'd be surprised if Darling is gone and if Tank isnt the starter.
If Edwards is practicing with the 1’s then he certainly isnt showing up much in the daily notes compared to Tank. And Darling has been with the ones and getting good things said about him everyday up until today.

Finally!
im amped! Get him on the field! After he runs his ass off for 3 or 4 days, of course! Ha!

Darrius Heyward Bey
Honestly looks like a smarter pick now that Crabtree is showing the real side to him. Darrius took the criticism, took his rightful money, didn’t complain, and is working hard in camp.
I’m a chiefs fan and I’m thinking heyward bey will be better than crabtree.
I agree.
As bad as DHB has “reportedly” looked in camp, I never was a big fan of crabtree. I think that by the time the season starts, DHB will be in shape and ready to perform. I would not be suprised to see crabs get injured in the first few weeks of the season with the type of build that he is sporting (but for his sake, hopefully not).
