Adam Schefter of NFL Network and NFL.com reports the Seattle Seahawks have been quietly discussing a trade with the Jacksonville Jaguars which would sent running back Shaun Alexander for a third round draft pick.
According to Shefter, the strange thing is the Jaguars are the ones who are balking at the deal as they are not willing to pay Alexander or the Seahawks.

A 3rd rounder!!! If this is true, I guess the reports on Alexander being a locker room cancer are true, too...

DARRELL DOESN'T SHOW FOR SEAHAWKS
Less than a week after the Seattle Seahawks dumped one of their starting receivers, the other starter at the position has boycotted involuntary voluntary practice, due apparently to a contract dispute.
According to The Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Darrell Jackson decided not to participate in Monday's drills, even though he signed a new six-year, $25 million contract a year ago.
"I'm disappointed he's not here," said coach Mike Holmgren. "He and I have talked about his reasons for not being here, a lot. With Darrell, in his mind, it's a matter of principle."
Jackson reportedly believes that former Seahawks president Bob Whitsitt made a promise to him that has not been honored. Apart from the fact that such "promises" potentially violate the Collective Bargaining Agreement, the fact remains that these players need to get all promises reduced to writing in their contracts, or the promises are worthless.
The reality, however, is that Jackson now has even greater leverage, thanks to the misadventures of Koren Robinson that led to his June 2 release. With Holmgren under increased pressure to win -- especially since new team president Tim Ruskell might want to hire his own guy to coach the team -- look for Holmgren to lobby hard to get Jackson placated quickly.
So, after the Seahawks cut Robinson and are talking to the Jags about trading Alexander - Jackson decides it's right time for a new deal....
