Seahawks talking to Chargers about unsigned wideout Jackson

SEATTLE (AP) - The Seahawks have been talking with San Diego about acquiring unsigned wide receiver Vincent Jackson. So far it's just talk.

A Seahawks spokesman told The Associated Press on Friday that Seattle was granted permission by the Chargers to talk to the representatives for the Pro Bowl wide receiver and restricted free agent a couple of weeks ago.

But nothing has changed. There is apparently no deal imminent, Jackson's price tag remains high and he still has not reported to training camp because he is unhappy with being a restricted free agent in San Diego. He wants a multiyear contract, reportedly one worth more than $9 million annually.

The Chargers and Seahawks would have to work out a trade to get Jackson a new deal. They already have struck one trade this year. It brought backup quarterback Charlie Whitehurst to Seattle in April for draft picks.

Jackson's agents, Neil Schwartz and Jonathan Feinsod, did not return messages from The AP Friday night. Neither did Chargers general manager A.J. Smith nor coach Norv Turner.

Jackson, who is coming off his second straight 1,000-yard season, already has been suspended by the NFL for the first three games for violating the league's substance abuse policy. He pleaded guilty in February to his second DUI since 2006.

But at 6-feet-5 he has the size Seahawks coach Pete Carroll covets in his receivers.
