Football Chiefs sign top pick, defensive end Jackson

[GotGibson?]

The Kansas City Chiefs have signed defensive end Tyson Jackson, the team's first-round draft pick and the third player taken overall in the NFL draft.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed Friday. But a source said that the two sides had been working on a deal worth $57 million over five years, with $31 million guaranteed.

Jackson was at Chiefs camp in River Falls, Wisc., and headed to the practice field to take the team's conditioning test.

Jackson, the third overall pick from LSU, is expected to help an anemic Chiefs pass rush that set the all-time NFL record for fewest sacks with 10 last season. Jackson had 18½ sacks and 122 tackles in 53 games at LSU.

 

[Hockey cards for Seahawks]

good.. I heard Clayton on ESPN radio earlier in the week saying that Jackson's agent was waiting for the Seahawks to sign Aaron Curry to see what kind of deal he was going to get and that Curry's agent was waiting for the Chiefs to sign Jackson to see what kind of deal he was going to get .. so they were at a stand off... now that Jackson is signed Aaron Curry should be next. We need him!
