NFL Wire Notes | 49ers waive Darrell Jackson By Seattle Times news services SANTA CLARA, Calif. ? The San Francisco 49ers waived receiver Darrell Jackson on Saturday after one unproductive season with the club. Jackson joined the 49ers in a trade last April after eight seasons with the Seahawks. He made at least one catch in each of his 15 starts for San Francisco, but finished the season with just 46 catches for 497 yards and three touchdowns in the NFL's least-productive offense. The 49ers signed longtime Rams receiver Isaac Bruce as a free agent last month, adding another veteran who spent his entire career with a division rival. San Francisco also is close to a deal with Bryant Johnson, the Arizona Cardinals' No. 3 receiver for the past five seasons, to play alongside Arnaz Battle and Ashley Lelie in what's been arguably the NFL's least-impressive group of receivers for the past few seasons. Jackson would have made $4 million next season in salary and bonuses. Bruce agreed to a two-year, $6 million deal two weeks ago. Jackson's agent, Brian Mooney, said the news caught the receiver a little by surprise. But Mooney credited the 49ers for making a decision early enough for Jackson to begin shopping himself around. "Darrell Jackson is going to get a job in the NFL without a doubt," Mooney said.
Jackson can have a job in the league, just not with the Jets hopefully. We just got rid of one guy with stone hands, so I would hope we don't sign a second pair of stone hands to replace him...
No surprise at all. I figured the guy was done when the Seahawks traded him in the division. The 49ers were moronic to trade for him.
