SEAHAWKS: Update: Not so fast - Jackson not signed yet?



Jackson holds the key to Curry's contract.

Reports surfaced earlier today that no. 3 overall pick Tyson Jackson signed with the Chiefs. However, those reports may have been premature, according to ESPN's Bill Williamson.

"...a source close to the situation said that although good progress has been made, the deal is not done," wrote Williamson.

UPDATE: The Kansas City Star reports that Jackson and Kansas City are nearing a deal. However, the insider source told The Star that the two sides have not yet come to terms.

Jackson's signing will expedite Aaron Curry's contract negotiations because both the no. 3 and no. 5 draft pick's prices will be locked in, making it simple for Seattle to fairly rank Curry's market value.
