(AP file)




The Broncos are close to signing former Kansas City Chiefs receiver Samie Parker and are deep in discussions with Darrell Jackson, the former No. 1 pass-catching threat for the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers, according to multiple NFL sources.
Parker, 27, was the Chiefs' No. 2 receiver in 2005-06, averaging 38.5 catches and 547 yards. He and the Broncos could finalize an agreement today.
Few receivers have a more impressive resume than Jackson, who was released by San Francisco after last season largely to avoid paying $4 million in salary and bonus. He has averaged 61 receptions in his eight NFL seasons and has three seasons of at least 1,000 yards. He caught 10 TD passes in 2006.
Williams' visit.
Among the draft-eligible players visiting the Broncos this week is Vanderbilt offensive tackle Chris Williams, who was in Sunday. The college visit period ends Friday.
Restricted means restricted.
For Broncos defensive backs Domonique Foxworth, Hamza Abdullah and Karl Paymah, it was a tough year to become a restricted free agent. There were nearly 100 restricted free agents on the market this offseason. With the deadline Friday for teams to submit offer sheets, only four restricted free agents have changed teams, including Broncos center Chris Myers, who wound up with the Houston Texans in exchange for a sixth- round pick.

[WARHORSE]

Think Chris Williams is a smoke screen? I dont think so. Everyone knows we dont bring in the guys we're targeting.

That could be the whole reason that we just may be lookin at him, and really may look to draft him.

[DenBronx]

booo on sammy parker.....but maybe on jackson.

[TXBRONC]

Parker has never materialized as solid reciever and the other guy past his prime. The only thing tis that just because the are signed doesn't mean they will make the team.

[NameUsedBefore]

Parker: Meh. Jackson: Maybe. Williams: Who the hell knows with the Shanahamster.

[BOSSHOGG30]

Could be worse... we could be going after Keyshawn Johnson....

I think Parker might battle for return duties with Martinez and Jackson excels in the West Coast offense and could battle it out with Colbert to make the roster.

[LRtagger]

I dont see any negative to this. If either can beat out Colbert for the #2, then that is a plus. Do either of them excel in the redzone?

[Superchop 7]

I am really high on getting Jackson.

50 Career TD catches.

Runs razor sharp routes.

Tenacious downfield blocker.

3.64 GPA

Great in the locker room.

Using Football Outsiders catch %, Jackson is at 58% (for comparison, Randy Moss is at
45%)

Marshall, Jackson, Stokely ??? That would be sick.

This is a guy you sign for 4 years.

[BOSSHOGG30]

I dont see any negative to this. If either can beat out Colbert for the #2, then that is a plus. Do either of them excel in the redzone?

The only negative I can see from this is makes you wonder exactly how Brandon Marshall is really doing.

[BOSSHOGG30]

this also makes me believe that we are going either OL or RB in the 1st round.

McCree and Manuel temp fix for safety need
Kootie and Bailey, linebacker fix
Colbert, Parker, and Jackson? WR fix?
Robertson trade? DT fix?

Leaves us with OL and RB... Right now I would say 60% chance of OL, 30% chance it is a RB, and 10% chance it is another position.

[MOtorboat]

Samie Parker sucks.

[BOSSHOGG30]

Samie Parker sucks.

until he is a Bronco and returns one to the house against the Chiefs right...:laugh:

[MOtorboat]

Don't get your hopes up.

[Superchop 7]

The Broncos are more apt to spend $$ on o-line than RB.

[BOSSHOGG30]

Don't get your hopes up.

He is a fast return threat we need. He ran a 10.18 100 meters when he played at Oregon. When healthy I think he is actually a very good player. His stats aren't much different from Colbert.

[Italianmobstr7]

I would like to sign Jackson I think...The biggest knock on him is that he drops a lot of passes.That can't be a good thing. Hopefully we can bring him in here as our #2, and he won't be too bad. We don't need him to catch TOO much w/ Stokely, Marshall and Scheffler. But if he could bring in 50 passes or so, our offense would be just that much better with him in there instead of Colbert.

[BOSSHOGG30]

Keary Colbert

109 catches

Obviously Dante Hall did that the first three years of his career, but he didn't do any of that last year.

I just don't see the benefit of signing two of the same player. Unless, I guess, one of them emerges...I just don't like Parker. Just my opinion. I'd rather have Colbert.

[BOSSHOGG30]

I rather have both of them over guys like Marquay McDaniel, Derrick Hamilton, Clifford Russell, Edell Shepherd, and Taylor Jacobs (damn Florida gator receivers! why do people even draft them?)

[Skinny]

Meh i like Jackson best of the two. If he can shake the nagging injuries that have hampered him the past few years he could be a good fit here. A nice possession type receiver if you will.

But till BMarsh gets some blood curculating to his head i'll take both these cats just in case ...

[underrated29]

Im with mo- i dont like parker either. I would rather keep colbert.

can parker even block?

I really dont care if we got either or neither, we could use some solid depth at the position other then martinez. Because i like parker a lot more than martinez.

I think brandon is fine, but maybe the broncos draft board just changed some with the visit of williams and now they dont plan to take a wr as high as they were originally planning?

just a thought.

You don't really have to worry about blocking when you are the return man or the guy called in when we spread the defense out with Cutler in shot gun.

[BeefStew25]

I say sign em all and try to get some competition going during training camp.

[BOSSHOGG30]

I say sign em all and try to get some competition going during training camp.

Exactly.... You never know who is going to step up... look at Glenn Martinez... who even knew of the guy and although he may not be great, he really stepped up for us last year. I doubt he is the answer, but you never know.

[haroldthebarrel]

He is a fast return threat we need. He ran a 10.18 100 meters when he played at Oregon. When healthy I think he is actually a very good player. His stats aren't much different from Colbert.

Thats an insane 100m when you're not even a true track and field athlete.

Samie Parker has gotten all the chances he could from a team that was receiver starved. I see no reason we look at him as a receiver. If we look at him it would be as a returner.

I think it is a good idea to take a shot at Jackson. At least he has produced pretty consistently even though there are some minor concerns over his practice work ethic and he will always drop a couple of easy ones.


It may look as though you are right on the team looking at OT and RB. Usually visits to denver means nothing, but in this case I just cannot see us having another guy in front of Williams.
Remember the team was willing to draft Harrel last year even though GB "reached" on him. I wouldnt put it past Denver that we are really looking at a reach for Balmer.
I still find it hard to understand that the team are willing to take a rb in the first in this draft. They must really love Mendenhall or Stewart, but there are so many quality rbs that will be there later in the draft.

I suppose this is just the annual "try to confuse the fans" and let them be even more confused on draft day.

[BeefStew25]

Exactly.... You never know who is going to step up... look at Glenn Martinez... who even knew of the guy and although he may not be great, he really stepped up for us last year. I doubt he is the answer, but you never know.

Martinez is so low maintenece compared to these high priced free agents. He runs good routes it seems, but get the drops every now and then.

[LRtagger]

the thought crossed my mind as well

[turftoad]

No and no.

Parker hasn't done a thing since he left KC and Jackson is over rated and drops to many balls.
Both of these guys are a huge reach in an effort to fix our ailing WR corps.

Parker............... same stats as Colbert, just reminded me how much Colbert sucks.

[haroldthebarrel]

Getting an open competition between Stokley, Colbert and Jackson for the second and third receiver spots is just good. They should at least be a lot more rounded than any rookie unless that rookie plays a spot role.

I was wondering why the team didnt look at Jackson before and I must say I am pretty happy we are looking at him now.
If we are going to win now, or at least try to go to the playoffs, I wouldnt trust any rookies to pick up the slack and play a usual number two.
heck, average rookie stats for receivers are between 550 and 800 yards. Calvin Johnson didnt exactly light up his rookie year, and I wouldnt expect any of these rooks to do better than him based upon talent.

[MOtorboat]

No and no.

LOL, turf...he hasn't done anything since he left KC, because he hasn't had a season to play in since he left KC. :elefant:

[WARHORSE]

Jackson has had a history of injury. Other than that, hes been productive with the occasional drop. Parker, is camp comp, with the possibility of helping the team in the return game.

Much of this of course is to keep our opponents guessing on what we plan on doing on draft day.
:confused:

[haroldthebarrel]

Jackson has been a number one receiver and been steady and productive over his career.
He drops the ball and has been a little injured. Still, getting him for a decent price wouldnt hurt the team at all. JMHO
At the very least it sets up in a pretty good position to maneuver in the draft.

You think Parker and Jackson will be expensive or "high priced"? I would be shocked considering how long they've been available and both have many question marks. Some say Jackson should retire considering he couldn't even hack it on the 49ers who really needs better players at the receiver position. Plus if you have Mike Martz as your offensive coordinator you would think he would want as many good receivers as he can. They cut Jackson like it was nothing and he hasn't had any team interested in him since.

Parker is probably the best signing of these two guys. He is still young, super fast, and our west coast style should help him if we use him right. The guy is dangerous once he has the ball in his hands. We need receivers that are good after the catch. Plus we need a kick returner badly. We signed some guy named Sheppard this off-season to battle Martinez... not exactly something to get excited about. Parker has some potential and if not, he should come cheap and the Broncos could cut him.

[turftoad]

LOL, turf...he hasn't done anything since he left KC, because he hasn't had a season to play in since he left KC. :elefant:

Exactly !! :D

He hasn't done a thing. And................. he sucks. :D

[BeefStew25]

You think Parker and Jackson will be expensive or "high priced"?

Relative to what we are paying Martinez they are.

[Ziggy]

I like the Parker signing. It gives us a legitimate return man for once. He should be able to complete for the #2 spot also. Jackson is the one I don't like. He tends to look great in preseason and practices, and then drop big passes at crucial times in games. But bring in all of em! Shake it all up and see who comes out on top.

As far as Chris Williams coming in, I hope he interviews well. It surprises me considering the Broncos didn't even show up for Vanderbilts pro day.

[BOSSHOGG30]

Relative to what we are paying Martinez they are.

I'm thinking league minimum for Parker and I don't know if we sign Jackson... at least I hope not.

So the 9rs cut Jackson because he couldn't hack it and they sign Bryant Johnson to replace him. So........ Johnson must be better than Jackson however, we're looking at Jackson and could have had Johnson. :confused:

But nooooooooooooo..... we go out and sign Colberts. :tsk:

What the hell is going on in the front office????

[BOSSHOGG30]

LOL, turf...he hasn't done anything since he left KC, because he hasn't had a season to play in since he left KC. :elefant:

He played on the Chiefs the past few years... It was either give the ball to Larry Johnson or throw it up to Tony Gonzalez or Eddie Kennison. This past year he had Croyle as his QB... not exactly the greatest oppurtunity to impress.

You got it:D

[haroldthebarrel]

Perhaps the Jackson/Johnson thing has a little to do with prize and the fact that a veteran guy like Jackson was injured a little last season.

he has been awfully consistent up to last year in SF. Everybody sucked at qb and receiver in SF last year. I tend to look at his career more so than the one year that stands out as an exception. Unless he is a huge injury risk or he demands a contract that is way too high I just dont see the problem.
I guess this is another one of those agree to disagree propositions.

Do you know why that was?

Because Parker sucks.

Who wants to bet on if he dropped that ball?

Who wants to bet on if he dropped that ball?

http://snap.stats.com/stats/nflinfo/playerstats.asp?id=6864&Submit=Go

In 2006 he was targeted 68 times... he caught 41 of them and only dropped 4 passes, the other 23 were considered uncatchable or intercepted.

His numbers were going up each year until they made the QB switch to Croyle and he fell on the depth chart behind Jeff Webb and Dwayne Bowe, not to mention Larry Johnson being injuried and a poor offensive line. Who blames him for a sub par 2007 season.

They were generous.

[MOtorboat]

I can almost guarantee that he dropped that ball, unless that was a two-yard out route.

[r8rh8r]

I'd like to give Parker a shot at a roster slot. If he earns it, welcome to the team.

I think D-Jack has remained on the market because of his asking price. He's had some other interest. There are tons of teams who need help at receiver. I doubt we'll sign him based on cost rather than capability.

I don't put anything into the Chris Williams visit. With Denver so close to the draft and Chicago and Carolina both in the market for an OT, this could just as easily be construed as a move to improve Denver's bargaining position.

Almost every team from Carolina to Dallas has some combination of WR, CB, and OT as their biggest needs. Given that Devin Thomas, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, Jeff Otah, and Chris Williams are all on the board at 12, Denver has an enviable draft pick. I think we are moving down, down, down...

I agree. Even when Green was there, its not like he had the kind of armstrength we see with Cutler. So hopefully, we can better utilize his deep speed. I really like the Parker pickup. 1) I cant believe we're paying a lot for him; 2) He has the deep speed that no other receiver on our roster has; 3) We have a QB with a big arm; 4) It can give us some flexibility in the draft; 5) He has seen NFL game speed and has played in an offense that makes its way running the ball.

Theres a lot to like about the Parker pickup. Its low risk with potentially high upside.

[Requiem / The Dagda]

I'm open to both Jackson and Parker coming to this ball club. It's possible that the team is concerned Marshall isn't making it along; and Jackson understands the WCO and has had some great success in it. Given the whole situation in San Francisco, he'd be the last person I'd blame for a bad season. I'd be happy with both signings. Gives us insurance in case Marshall isn't back and means we can focus elsewhere with our top two picks.

What feels better to you guys?

Marshall, Highly Drafted Rookie, Colbert and Stokley as our top four guys.

Marshall, Jackson, Parker, Colbert, Stokley and perhaps a mid-round rookie?

I'll take the last set of receivers any day; even if a rookie isn't in the mix. Like JR, TX and a few other posters have been saying here -- rookie receivers usually don't produce right away. If Jackson came in; that's another guy who will get 50 catches a year; maybe more. We'll air out the ball. All we need is some weapons.

I'm not opposed to this at all. I think fans should kinda be happy about this.

As I recall, Jackson has had a problem with drops though, no? It depends on how much we are paying him really. But Parker though will make the defense defend all parts of the field. We have a QB with a big enough arm to make the defense worry about defending all parts of the field but with someone that has Parker's speed, it can really make the defense pay for crowding the box or jumping Marshall's route.

[Requiem / The Dagda]

Even with Jackson's "dropsies" (I'd have to STATS Inc. it up!) he's still worth pursuing [but price should be considered] because he has #1 experience and knows the WCO extremely well. The more the merrier. I'd actually be fine with adding those two; not even getting a receiver and taking an OL and a RB first to make this offensive even more potent.

Get these signings done!

[Superchop 7]

Let me re-iterate.

His catch % is 58% (Football Outsiders)

Randy Moss is 45%

Has he dropped the easy catch ? Sure, so has Rod Smith.

He wasn't the problem in Seattle. They got alot worse after he left.

He was due 4 million dollars, that's why San Fran dumped him.

In the Super-bowl, he tied the record for most catches in a quarter.
(That's catches.....not drops)

Don't let the media dictate your opinion, he is damn good.

Thanks for the breakdown, it's appreciated.

[r8rh8r]

Darrell Jackson had 7 drops last year, tied for 9th in the NFL. Keary Colbert was right behind him with 6 drops; however, D-jack was targeted 104 times while Colbert was targeted 70 times (because he was benched week 12). Thus, D-Jack dropped 6.5% of his passes and Colbert dropped 8.5%.

[BeefStew25]

Look at us signing a WR like this:

At dude we sign is going to be better than anyone we draft. Usually. Brandon Marshall kinda messed up that theory, but in the long run, Shanny isn't going to hit gold that often.

Yep. I see the Broncos looking at a guy like Jackson who is a proven starter and has WCO experience who can help us now and for a couple years down the road; and to bring in a guy like Parker who has deep speed to stretch the field. If we can get them both at a cheap cost; why the heck not? It's better than what we have right now.

__________________________________________________ ____________________________________

Yes I am.

In 2006, he caught an unbelievable 69%.

Look at how much better Moss got when he actually had a QB ?

Look at how much worse Jackson got when he "didn't" have a QB.

I would grab this guy in a heartbeat.

[jetrazor74]

In all honesty, most people never regain 100% use after an injury like Marshall has. It doesn't mean his career is over, but if he doesn't have full feeling or full hand strength, it's going to affect his play.

I would love to see us pick up both of these guys. Even if Brandon does fully recover, we could always use extra depth and speed at the #2 spot.

Besides, we use our slot(traditionally #3) like most teams use the number 2.

[SmilinAssasSin27]

Darrell Jackson...sign me up!

As Brandon Marshall Recuperates, Denver Broncos Look at Darrell Jackson

The Denver Broncos' starting wide receivers last year were Brandon Marshall, who is recovering from an arm injury suffered when he fell into a TV, and Javon Walker, who is no longer with the team.

Right now the No. 1 healthy receiver in Denver is Brandon Stokley, which is not a good place for a team to be, and Denver's need at wide receiver may be good news for Darrell Jackson, one of the few veteran wide receivers available. The Denver Post reports (via PFT) that the Broncos are "deep in discussions" with Jackson, a 29-year-old who caught 46 passes for 497 yards in 2007, his one and only season in San Francisco. He had three 1,000-yard seasons in Seattle.

Denver is also reportedly close to signing former Kansas City Chiefs receiver Samie Parker. If they add both Parker and Jackson, it would be a strong indication that they don't think they can count on Marshall to catch another 100 passes this year, either because his injury is too severe or because he'll continue to get into trouble off the field.

[underrated29]

Or how about more weapons for cutler. I think brandon is fine unless they come out of nowhere with some sort of crazy trade for like larry fitz, player for player swap, which isnt about to happen.

shanny plays the odds, he drafts in 3's at his need positions, cb, de. So why not sign 3 wr and let the best couple win it out.

I just dont think there is a problem with brandon.

I just dont think there is a problem with brandon.I guess we will see. It was a pretty serious cut. But to be honest I have zero faith in our rehab program. At least he isnt in Clevland...........

[Slick]

I read on another forum that Parker signed, and we're still talking to Jackson.

I think its truly speculation on their part about Marshall being the reason. I think this was going to happen even if Marshall didn't have the cut. We need competition at the 2nd WR, instead of just giving Colbert the job.

I think Marshall's status is going fine. He's on schedule, actually a little bit early b/c he took of the cast already. It just takes time for the arteries and nerves to heal.

Latest update from Google News:


Darrell Jackson: In Contact With Denver - 4/14/2008 12:46:51 PM

Update:
According to the Denver Post, Jackson and the Broncos are deep in contract discussions.

Recommendation:
Jackson was released by San Francisco in March, after just one season by the Bay. Jackson saw quite a decrease in production in 2007, he caught 46 balls for nearly 500 yards, down from 63 and 956, respectively, in 2006. His last 1000 yard season came in 2004, when he had 87 grabs and almost 1200 yards. Jackson would likely compete for Denver's third wide receiver spot, behind Brandon Marshall and Brandon Stokley. The Post also reports that the Broncos are close to signing Samie Parker, who may prove to be Jackson's main competition, should both sign with the Broncos.

Just reiterates what others have said.

[Nature Boy]

A step in the right direction. We need the depth at WR. Hopefully we get both guys to sign. Then we really need to buff up that O-line and D-line, OT 1st.

[BOSSHOGG30]

Broncos agreed to terms with WR Samie Parker, formerly of the Chiefs.

NFL Network's Adam Schefter reports Darrell Jackson is expected to join the Broncos on Tuesday. Parker, 27, seemed to regress in Kansas City and lost his starting job in 2007. Behind Brandon Marshall, Brandon Stokley, and Keary Colbert, he'll have a hard time carving out a role as anything more than a fourth receiver. Jackson will be a better bet for a roster spot.

Nice pickup. Was Ashlie Lelie not available?

Nice pickup. Was Ashlie Lelie not available?

Samie's already spilling the beans about KC's plays to Shanahan. Plus, I always like players seeking some revenge from their former team... We know that Parker will at least give his all in two games this year. One in KC and one vs. KC in Denver.

[JONtheBRONCO]

The recent signing of Samie Parker is actually a surprise to me. I'm not angry about the move, just surprised. It seems as if Shananan is targeting a couple players outside of the draft, at a couple key spots on our team. To go along with Parker, the Broncos are also targeting Darrell Jackson too. Jackson has had a couple bright spots in his career, but recently has dropped off the map.

There is still some promise to go along with recently signed Kerry Colbert, Samie Parker, and soon to be Darrell Jackson, they actually have a quarterback who can get the ball to them. The possible draft rumor involving the Jets and the Broncos include defensive tackle Dewayne Robertson, who Denver is likely to give up two second day picks. Robertson has been somewhat consistent, never having missed a game in his career - although recent news of a failed physical, some have questioned Robertson's health. Although injury is the question on Robertson now, I believe he still has the potential to be a good partner paired next to Thomas. Speculations say the Broncos already have a contract in place

Kuper is also said to be the favorite ahead of Harris for the LT spot. This could be one of two things, Harris isn't coming along very well rehabing his back, or the coaches really like something about Kuper. The signing of Mcree, along with the re-signing of John Lynch might be because the Broncos believe they will be okay at saftey. Either way, the heavy emphasis on key positions this offseason at LB, S, WR, OL, DT, all indicate in my opinion Bowlen and Shanahan are going to select the best available player in this years draft.

Whether it be WR, although unlikely at 12, RB, LT, DT, or anything else for that matter (besides QB, TE, CB). This could just be me, so I'd like to hear what you guys think...

Screw it........... Worst case it makes Marshall think about what this team means to him, and what he means to us.

[TXBRONC]

Could be worse... we could be going after Keyshawn Johnson....

I think Parker might battle for return duties with Martinez and Jackson excels in the West Coast offense and could battle it out with Colbert to make the roster.

To tell you the truth I would rather have Keyshawn over Parker.

[Nature Boy]

To tell you the truth I would rather have Keyshawn over Parker.

Keyshawn? Sure you're not a Cowboys fan? j/k... Parker is 27 and Keyshawn is like 47.

Keyshawn was quited a day or 2 ago saying he's considering coming back and that he's sure Coach Parcells will let him play in Miami.

Doubt it. Keyshawn can catch.

I bet Samie Parker doesn't make opening day roster.

[underrated29]

c- you are absolutely right.

But i also think that brandon takes more shit then he should. I know on my hockey team (in highschool) i took a ton of shit from people for being crazy and getting into trouble. I never did anything though to jepardize my team. And on the ice i gave it everything i had. I was just young and dumb and full of.....energy!

Brandon is a good guy, he knows his place here, and i believe he wants to be here long term. He has goofed around a couple times and he knows it.

Had to change the diaper.... i am not really sure where i was going with that...........

I need a vacation..... I need to chill and get my mind back, because i have been rambling like and idiot for a while now.........damnit:tsk:

[BOSSHOGG30]

I think Parker will surprise some people. I really believe that in order to have a great West Coast offense, you have to have receivers that can make something happen after the catch. Parker may not be the best possession receiver; he won't out jump someone for the ball, or even be a good blocker, but if he can do anything well it is make something happen after he has the football in his hands. The guy is super fast and can cut on a dime. If Denver uses him like I think they will he should be a factor in this offense as well as special teams. He is still young and has some upside as well as the revenge factor. A change in scenery can help sometimes too. This should be a cheap sign and I think it will pay off in the long run.

There is so much talk of Brandon Marshall and his attitude, personality and antics off the field. None of it will matter if his arm does not recover 100%. I have my fingers crossed that he will not suffer any permanent arm/hand injury. Until then, nothing he's done, said or what anyone said(Cutler) matters.

Speed and quickness nullifies size and strength. Just ask Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne.

The Broncos need depth at wide out, especially with Brandon and his mangled up arm.

Article on Parker:

Samie Parker 6’0 190 ****

Samie Parker is a speedster with dominating potential. His speed is absurd, and I would almost bet that he has as much speed as anyone else in the NFL. He is not a very consistent wide receiver, nor has he been a great receiver yet. I still expect him to become a good NFL wide out, where he is not being matched up on opposing team’s #1 or #2 cornerback. He would fit perfectly into the slot wide receiver role if that is what we are looking for in a WR in free agency next season. Samie Parker is going to be marked down as a “project” free agent, but he is a very dangerous project, that has earned himself 4 stars with his ability to stretch a defense with his blazing speed.

You are asking a guy to put up numbers on a very poor team that is a run first team... doesn't everyone remember all the carries Larry Johnson had over the past 4 seasons? Also, look at the QB situation.....

Compare his numbers to Colbert and you will see there isn't much difference and the numbers actually favor Parker.

Parker is a play maker with great speed...something Denver needs badly.

Stokely, Marshall, Colbert, and Martinez aren't exactly blazers and you can throw Jackson in that mix too if we sign him.

I am at least intigued by his speed as far as special teams are concerned. But the scheme will need to improve as well in order for anyone to be successful returning kicks.

Trent Green was the starting quarterback through most of his first four years and was solid until he got hurt. Run first or not I don't think he made very much of the opportunities that were given to him. I'll be happy to be proven wrong but honestly I have more confidence in Colbert than I do Parker.

As far his speed is concerned it is of no use if teams know he's no real threat to catch passes. Lelie could stretch the field and he was a threat to make the catch on a deep pass.

Trent Green is 37 years old. Parker has played 4 seasons with the Chiefs.

2004 and 2005 were the only good years that Green had in KC while Parker was a member of the team. 2004 was Parkers rookie season in which he only played in 4 games and 2004 he only played in 12 games. KC hasn't really given him a shot yet. I think he is one of the fall guys for their problems on offense the past two seasons.

Parker signed a one-year, $645,000 contract. The deal included a $40,000 signing bonus. This is nothing. I think this is a good signing for the Broncos.

Denver must not be convinced that he can even make the team with that kind of contract. Another thing I would keep in mind is at this point he's only competing for the 4th or 5th receiver slot. So even if he makes the team he more than likely be inactive a lot of games maybe even most of the season.

We've signed him and I wont root against him but I still have doubts about what he will bring to the table if he even makes the team.

I was thinking about Eric Parker. Thought Eric Parker went to KC a few years ago. I was thinking about the wrong guy the whole time. Both players have had average at best careers and average skills and about equivalent in caliber as WRs. Eric Parker being the better however.

Either way, bring him in, bring both of them in if we can. The team needs depth and competition never hurts.

[BOSSHOGG30]

Denver must not be convinced that he can even make the team with that kind of contract. Another thing I would keep in mind is at this point he's only competing for the 4th or 5th receiver slot. So even if he makes the team he more than likely be inactive a lot of games maybe even most of the season.

We've signed him and I wont root against him but I still have doubts about what he will bring to the table if he even makes the team.

You always have room for a speedster... I'm sure he will battle for punt return duties and he will play some slot as well as run a reverse or two. I've seen him play many games... he does drop passes but then he also has games where he catches just about everything thrown to him. He is just inconsistant. Thing is that when he actually has the ball in his hands, he is very dangerous, and there is always room for a player like that.... see Hester, guy drops passes, fumbles all the time, but Chicago keeps sticking him in there because speed + agility + blocking = TOUCHDOWN!

Boss defenses aren't usually scared of inconsistent receiver regardless of how fast they are. If I were defensive coordinator I wouldn't be losing sleep over him.

Hester has been a defensive back most of career and just now being moved to wide receiver. Also Parker hasn't shown anything as punt or kickoff returner that I'm aware of.

At any rate he is on the Broncos. That being said, he has one year contract and is only competing for 4th or 5th slot as wide receiver, there is a very good chance he wont even make the team. Even if he does make the team as 4th or 5th receiver he will be inactive for a good portion of the season unless he can win a job on Special teams as returner.

Trent Green was the starting quarterback through most of his first four years and was solid until he got hurt. Run first or not I don't think he made very much of the opportunities that were given to him. I'll be happy to be proven wrong but honestly I have more confidence in Colbert than I do Parker.

As far his speed is concerned it is of no use if teams know he's no real threat to catch passes. Lelie could stretch the field and he was a threat to make the catch on a deep pass.


The threat Parker poses might be worth more than his production in that his speed makes the defense defend the whole field. Like I said before, it can help prevent defenders from crowding the box and/or jumping Marshall's routes...because they know if they dont account for him Cutler has the arm to hit him deep.

Not only that but he's not even making a mill per year from what I saw. Theres almost no risk with this. If he sucks, he's easy to cut. But if he doesnt, he could help immensely for the reasons that have been mentioned. Colbert makes over 3 mil per year. In terms of value, its going to be extremely tough for Colbert to deliver proportionally in relation to makes to have the same value as Parker.

You are asking a guy to put up numbers on a very poor team that is a run first team... doesn't everyone remember all the carries Larry Johnson had over the past 4 seasons? Also, look at the QB situation.....

Compare his numbers to Colbert and you will see there isn't much difference and the numbers actually favor Parker.

Parker is a play maker with great speed...something Denver needs badly.

Stokely, Marshall, Colbert, and Martinez aren't exactly blazers and you can throw Jackson in that mix too if we sign him.

We need a speedster.

Isn't Denver a run first team too? :confused:


Bleh signing...if the Chiefs (woefully inadequate at WR for years) let a guy go then he must be a keeper, right? :tsk:

[BOSSHOGG30]

"Those in the know" tell ESPN's Bill Williamson that Denver's recent run on free agent receivers has little to do with Brandon Marshall's arm injury.

The Broncos are reportedly confident that Marshall will make a full recovery and be ready by the preseason. The addition of Samie Parker and expected signing of Darrell Jackson are believed to be depth-related moves.

People said the same thing about Bly last year...and the Browncos before him.

Like I said, if the Chiefs didn't retain the guy then that tells you something about him.

[Drill-N-Fill]

Like I said, if the Chiefs didn't retain the guy then that tells you something about him.

Why do people insist Bly had a terrible year last year? Our D-line is a laughing stock. Give a CB 3-4 seconds to throw instead of 5-8 and you will see the difference. I distinctly remember couple of times last year when we needed the ball back to make a come back and Bly got it back to us...yes, the combeback never happend, but thats besides the point.

I personally like the Parker signing. He will stretch the field, and atleast take a saftey back with him, leaving Scheffler to abuse a LB for 20 yards. If anything he could contribute to special teams. How long has it been since we had a threat?

[lex]

As I said I don't think he's much of threat because to inconsistent in catching the ball.


He most certainly could even if he is inconsistent at catching the ball. Defensive coordinators typically dont like to have a WR 20 yards past their last defender wide open. Parker may drop it sometimes but the other team has no idea when he will drop the pass and they most certainly will want to account for him. And in doing so, it should open things up for others underneath.

[r8rh8r]

All this criticism of the Parker deal is kind of silly. He signed a minimum deal and his cap number is a whopping $40,000 (yes thats "40" not "400") if we cut him. Basically Denver paid $40k to get a look at the kid in training camp. What gives with the Shana-hate? It's not like we locked him up to a big contract long term.

How is it a weak attempt? What free agent wide receiver did they miss out on this year? The draft is still 2 weeks out bud! Just because Parker got a 1-yr league minimum deal doesn't mean he'll be on our roster this August. All this means is that he'll have a shot to make the team in training camp.

But I will judge it after the draft.

Parker at least represents a legit deep threat who can compete for the 3rd/4th WR & return jobs. He is an instant upgrade over Glenn Martinez.

I wouldn't be surprised. Al though Lelie can only run the up route, he'll always keep the opposing defense at bay with their safety playing deep.

I'm sure Coach Shanahan will have a spot for him; coach always likes a deep threat. He was Plummer's only deep threat when he was here. Don't be surprised to see Ashley in town again if he's willing to play for cheap as I don't think any other team is willing to pay much for his services.

the only indication of anything i can find on the interweb is that he got 1 year, 2 million from the 9ers... not high priced.

[BOSSHOGG30]

Take a quick look at the depth chart, it shows we have Brandon Marshall on one side and Brandon Stokley on the other. A big play guy and a posession guy. And behind them, not a lot of proven anything. Stokley's ten years into his career and a solid receiver, but he's not going to scare anyone deep. With Jay Cutler's arm you know the Broncos are itching to make sure the running game has gaps by sending more than one speedster on a fly pattern. Parker looks like he might wind up being one of those receivers for them.

That thread was from 2005. :eek:

Then again, that's the last season that KC was a great passing team, ranking 6th in the NFL with Trent Green at the helm with another 4000 yard season. Parker was starting to show his potential, then Herm decides to go in a different route and proceeds to destroy any semblance of competence in their passing game to make KC a "Bears-like" team. :D The KC passing offense just hasn't been any good for a while.

Worst case, Parker is probably good for at least 500 yards and will force the defense to at least respect the deep threat. At best, he was used in an inept passing offense at KC (like someone here posted, but I can't find the post), and he'll shine in Denver.

Jackson signed (http://www.denverpost.com/broncos/ci_8947201)
It's official: Broncos sign WR Jackson
By Mike Klis
The Denver Post
Article Last Updated: 04/16/2008 02:42:28 PM MDT

The Wednesday afternoon snow in Denver didn't scare off Darrell Jackson.

One of the most productive NFL receivers of the past nine seasons, Jackson and the Broncos reached an agreement on a one-year deal Wednesday following a meeting with team officials at Dove Valley.

"There were three or four other teams interested in Darrell, but everything aligned perfectly for us with Denver," said Brian Mooney, Jackson's agent. "The Broncos gave us the best fit from the offense they run, the coaching staff they have and the opportunity he has both short-term and long-term. Darrell is planning on playing for a while."

With 487 career receptions and 50 touchdowns in eight NFL seasons, Jackson, 29, will compete with Keary Colbert for the No. 2 receiver spot. Other Broncos' receivers are Brandon Marshall, Brandon Stokley and Samie Parker.

Jackson's best years were with the Seattle Seahawks. He had 87 catches for 1,199 yards in 2004 and 63 catches with 10 touchdowns in 2006.

Traded to San Francisco last year, Jackson's production slipped to 46 receptions 497 yards as the 49ers encountered problems with a new offensive coordinator and injuries to quarterback Alex Smith.

"Just as the stars didn't align last year with all the injuries, it's just the opposite with Denver," Mooney said. "With Jay Cutler as the quarterback, I think the Broncos are going to be a fun team to watch.

Don't know if everyone's seen the breaking news on Darrell Jackson but I'll post it on it's thread. It's news worthy but I don't wanna start a new thread.

[Timmy!]

Friggin sweet. Jackson is a legit #2. If Marshall is back at 100%, we should be set at WR.

Marshall
Jackson
Stokley
Colbert
Parker
Martinez

It's not outstanding, but it's solid. Throw in Sheff as a middle threat and Jay has plenty weapons.

[BOSSHOGG30]

Boss the stats inconsequential. The contracts tell the story. Colbert gets 3 year contract and Parker got a one year deal. Apparently Denver isn't convinced he'll even make the team.

So I'm guessing because Jackson signed a one year deal that means the Broncos aren't convinced he'll make the team either? Parker is are only speed threat right now... I don't think it would be a good idea to not have at least one speed threat on the roster.

[DenBronx]

i like the signing of jackson. jackson reminds me of rod smith because he's never in trouble, runs some crisp routes and produces. im now at ease about the whole wr thing. jackson is a very solid #2 and only 2 years off of a 1000+ yards and 10 touchdown season. this was a smart yet cheap option and now these guys can battle in camp. parker at least gives us a deep threat as a #4. with 4 wrs cutler has so many options.

[BOSSHOGG30]

Here is an update on the Jackson signing....

Broncos signed WR Darrell Jackson to a one-year, $1.5 million contract, according to NFL Network's Adam Schefter.

Jackson, 29, adds competition to a group that also includes Brandon Marshall, Brandon Stokley, Keary Colbert, and Samie Parker. Most likely, Jackson and Colbert will compete to start, although the terms of this deal indicate Jackson isn't a heavy favorite. Jackson struggled badly (10.8 YPC) with the 49ers, but the Broncos are a best-case scenario for him because of their West Coast offense. He's someone to monitor closely this summer because he could rebuild his fantasy value. Apr. 16 - 4:30 pm et

It depends on how much they are going to pay him if it's similiar to that of Parker then I would say they are not convinced he'll make the team.

Also as I said Parker speed means nothing if he can't be a consistent pass catcher. Opposing defenses wont be intimidated because they will know he's not much of a threat to actually catch a pass. You know I don't recall Parker ever burning us for big pass plays that impacted the outcome of games with the Chiefs.

[Lonestar]

well so far I like what mikey has done..Lets just hope he does not do something stupid like taking a WR on day one, to develop for four years..

Let someone else be a training ground for WR.

With the exception of Marshall effectively NONE of them have panned out.. And frankly Marshall could be a an issue also with the harm and HEAD issue..

There is one exception to my Never draft a WR comment and that is Jordy on day 2..

I LOVE the signing of Darrell Jackson. I always liked watching him play in Seattle. If he stays healthy, I think he can be a pretty productive #2 WR. Definitely the best WR of the lot we have signed this offseason. This gives us a solid top 3 of Marshall/Jackson/Stokley with Parker, Colbert, and Martinez fighting for the scraps. I think this makes us not have to take a WR in the draft this year.
