7 Tarvaris Jackson QB

Jackson was arrested Friday on suspicion of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, stemming from a reported argument with a woman, NFL.com reports.

Jackson was subsequently released from Osceola (Florida) County Jail after posting $2,500 bond. The 33-year-old QB, who served as Russell Wilson's backup in Seattle over the past three seasons, remains a free agent, with Trevone Boykin and Jake Heaps currently rounding out the Seahawks' signal-caller depth chart behind Wilson.

Seahawks quarterback Tarvaris Jackson injured his ankle in Friday's preseason game.

Coach Pete Carroll told the media after the game that Jackson's injury is a sprain, not a break. He's expected to miss two weeks. "I don't know. We'll see. I don't know about that yet," Carroll said of the backup quarterback situation, per ESPN. "We'll have to see how it looks tomorrow. The ankle did not swell up much, so we'll see what that means."

The Seahawks announced that backup quarterback Tarvaris Jackson has signed his contract with the organization. 

Jackson will once again back up Russell Wilson. In his second stint with Seattle, Jackson will enter his fourth season with the team. Over the past nine years, Jackson has totaled 7,226 yards, 39 touchdowns and 35 interceptions with the Vikings, Seahawks and Bills. 

The Seahawks have reached an agreement with quarterback Tarvaris Jackson, a source has told Fox Sports.

Jackson has backed up starter Russell Wilson over the last two years in his second stint with Seattle. He has played in just four games during the latest stint.

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said Seattle is trying to re-sign backup quarterback Tarvaris Jackson, according to the Everett Herald. 

Jackson has spent the previous two seasons backing up Russell Wilson at the position. After five seasons with the Vikings, Jackson came to Seattle and ended up starting 14 games in 2011. He went to Buffalo in 2012 before coming back to the Seahawks in 2013. 

Seahawks backup QB Tarvaris Jackson is meeting with the Dolphins Thursday, according to the Palm Beach Post.

The return of Dolphins' backup Matt Moore remains in question.

After breaking into the NFL in 2006 with the Vikings, Jackson's best season was 2011 when he started 15 games for the Seahawks and threw for 14 touchdowns and 3,091 yards.

With Matt Cassel now in Buffalo and Christian Ponder set to become a free agent Tuesday, former Seahawks backup quarterback Tarvaris Jackson said he would love to be Teddy Bridgewater's backup in Minnesota.

"I think I could really help [Bridgewater]," Jackson told Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press. "I think I could help put things in perspective for him with football and outside of football … I feel I can help him just making the game a little easier and kind of learning from my mistakes and stuff."

Jackson started his career with the Vikings in 2006. He has passed for 7,226 yards and 39 touchdowns in his nine-year career.

Seahawks offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell said the backup quarterback battle between Tarvaris Jackson and Terrelle Pryor won't be decided for a while, reports the Seattle Times. "We will kind of just let it go for the next three weeks and see what happens," Bevell said.

Pryor went 9 of 16 for 137 yards with an interception and ran for 28 yards in the preseason opener. Jackson, last year's backup, hit 5 of 7 throws for 47 yards.

The Seahawks announced that they re-signed backup quarterback Tarvaris Jackson. He appeared in four games last season, completing 10 of 13 throws for 151 yards and a touchdown while adding a rushing score.

Jackson came in for Wilson with the game out of hand and was not able to do much with his playing time. He completed a short pass to Michael Robinson for a 6-yard gain late in the fourth quarter. Jackson completed 1 of 3 passes for six yards and one rush for minus-1 yard.

The battle for the right to take snaps in practice with the second team and hold the clipboard in games while watching Russell Wilson play in Seattle is over. The Seahawks have cut Brady Quinn in favor of Tarvaris Jackson, the Seattle Times is reporting. It appears the team will keep just two quarterbacks, which is becoming a trend in the NFL.

The Seahawks signed Quinn in April to back up Wilson, but then created a competition by signing Jackson. Quinn performed well in the preseason, but Jackson finished with the best passer rating in the NFL at 131.4. He tossed three touchdowns and no interceptions.

Quinn, who arrived in Cleveland as a ballyhooed prospect, has now been traded by the Browns and released by the Broncos and Seahawks.

Tarvaris Jackson is expected to sign a one-year deal to return to the Seahawks. He'll likely compete with Brady Quinn for the right to back up Russell Wilson. He was released by the Bills on Monday night.

The Bills have released veteran quarterback Tarvaris Jackson.

The Bills team website reports on Friday the Bills re-signed quarterback Tarvaris Jackson, and according to new head coach Doug Marrone the veteran signal caller will have a much better opportunity to see playing time for Buffalo in 2013. “I spoke with Ryan (Fitzpatrick) and Tarvaris (Jackson) and told them we will have an open competition at the quarterback position – similar to what we will do at all positions on our team heading into our offseason work,” said Marrone. Jackson was set to become a free agent in mid-March had he not been re-signed by the club. The third quarterback on Buffalo’s roster in 2012, Jackson never saw the field for the Bills last season as the previous coaching staff expressed concern that there was not enough practice time to get him live reps in the offensive system.
