Seahawks attempting to trade QB Jackson

BUFFALO, N.Y. – The Buffalo Bills are negotiating to restructure the final year of Tarvaris Jackson’s contract before completing a trade with the Seattle Seahawks to acquire the seventh-year quarterback.

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll confirmed the deal had been agreed to by both teams Sunday, but added the trade wasn’t completed.

“It has been agreed upon, but there is still a little bit of paperwork to do,” Carroll said during a telephone conference call with reporters. “It might be done tonight. It is scheduled to be done.”

A person familiar with discussions told The Associated Press that the Bills were in negotiations with Jackson’s agent, Joel Segal, to restructure the player’s contract.

Carroll didn’t say what the Seahawks will get in return, though it’s expected to be a mid- to late-round draft pick from Buffalo.
