With the trade rumors swirling around about Jackson and where he might land, it's time to explain why each of these five teams should give strong consideration to trading for him.1. Packers: If it’s true, the Seahawks aren’t seeking higher than a 5th round pick, meaning the Packers should make this deal.The Packers need a legitimate backup quarterback and Jackson could also allow the Packers to run a wildcat offense if they choose to.If Jackson has a few years to sit behind Rodgers, he could transform like Michael Vick did the Eagles.

Coming into tonight’s game against the Chiefs, all rookie quarterback Russell Wilson had to do was give the Seahawks a good reason to make him their starter heading into the season, and I believe he did that.
Now only were Wilson’s stats impressive tonight (13-19 for 185 yards and 2 TD’s), but they aren’t too shabby for the entire preseason.
