Neither team has confirmed the deal. Seattle was expected to part ways with Jackson. After the Seahawks sunk money into free-agent Matt Flynn, only to watch rookie Russell Wilson emerge as the team's most exciting passer (we expect him to be named the starter), Jackson became the odd man out.
The impending trade likely marks the end of Vince Young's brief stint with the Bills, where coach Chan Gailey has obviously seen enough from the former Tennesse Titans and Philadelphia Eagles passer who sputtered in three preseason appearances for Buffalo. Gailey has thrived working with mobile quarterbacks, but Young struggled to adapt to Buffalo's spread offense.
Jackson is yet another mid-level passer, but an upgrade over Young. None of this is good news for backup Tyler Thigpen. The Bills have said all summer they're committed to keeping versatile Brad Smith as the team's third passer.
