The day after a disgruntled wideout returned to practice in Denver, an underachieving wideout who actually was drafted two rounds higher than the disgruntled wideout has been let go by the Broncos.
The team announced that it has waived Chad Jackson.
Jackson entered the league in 2006 as a second-round pick of the Patriots. After appearing in 12 games as a rookie, with one start, Jackson tore an ACL during the postseason. The following year, Jackson disappeared on a depth chart that suddenly boasted Wes Welker, Randy Moss, and Donte’ Stallworth.
Last year, the Pats gave up on Jackson, who landed in Denver. He appeared in only one game last year, catching one pass for 19 yards.
The handwriting likely was on the wall regarding this move from the moment Josh McDaniels became the head coach of the Broncos, given that McDaniels was the offensive coordinator in New England during Jackson’s failed tenure there.
And, yes, Brandon Marshall remained on the board in 2006 until round four, picked after Jackson and Sinorice Moss and Travis Wilson and Derek Hagan and Brandon Williams and Maurice Stovall and Willie Reid and Brad Smith and Cory Rodgers and Jason Avant and Demetrius Williams.
And to think, a lot of Packer fans were upset we didn’t draft him, and instead drafted this guy named Greg Jennings that few had heard of.
Okay…so if you combine this with the MJD return to practice, throw in the crazy developments in Oakland, cross-tab it against Obama’s approval ratings, pull in elements of the Mayan doomsday prophesy, and then mix in some good old fashioned contempt for Josh McD, you could only conclude that this means, at least probably, that the Broncos still want to trade BM to the Jets….
Or are you guys gonna let that wounded dog die at some point?
I still remember getting mad that we traded down and picked Jennings instead of him.. Couldn’t be one bit happier now though.
See? Turd Marshall has seen the light! Why else can Chaxson?
He won’t hit any more ladies.
He won’t drop any more balls.
He won’t slip on any fast food bags and SMASH HIS HAND THROUGH A TV.
This is a clear sign that my Donks have figured it all out. You are genius McDaniels!
If only Marshall was as much a team player as Jennings looks to be….
So what Florio is saying, is that Jackson is booking his plane tickets to Cleveland, and then to the Jets……
Because we all know that Mangini, and his former employer Tannenbaum can not pass up on anything that has ever worn a Pats uniform…..
I’m kind of surprised that Mangini isnt trying to get Bruschi to come to Cleveland……
Not a Packers fan, but I have some SERIOUS man love for Greg Jennings. The guy came up huge last year for my fantasy team and won me $1000.
I’d rather have Avant than Marshall. Avant isn’t a number one type, but he doesn’t have all that baggage associated with that either. Also, all he does is pretty much catch anything thrown his way.
What really went wrong with Chad Jackson? Did he ever fully recover from his injuries?
I was so mad when the Titans didnt get him in the draft—come to find out it all worked out…
Florio their is no need to put 10 “and’s” between the players name. A simple “,” would work great. You must get paid by the letter, lol.
I would raher have D Wil then Marshall, if he could only stay healthy & be on the field!!!

I admit it. I was wr- wro- wr- mistaken.
