The Denver Broncos and free-agent wide receiver Darrell Jackson made it official today, agreeing to a one-year contract after several days of negotiations.

“There were three or four other teams interested in Darrell, but everything aligned perfectly for us with Denver,” Brian Mooney, Jackson’s agent, told the Denver Post.  “The Broncos gave us the best fit from the offense they run, the coaching staff they have and the opportunity he has both short-term and long-term.  Darrell is planning on playing for a while.”

Right now reports indicate that Jackson will compete with Keary Colbert for the No. 2 receiver job, across the field from No. 1 receiver Brandon Marshall.  But if the injury Marshall suffered when he put his arm through his TV turns out to be more serious than currently believed, Jackson and Colbert could both start.  Brandon Stokley and Samie Parker will likely be the Broncos’ fourth and fifth receivers this season.

Jackson had several good years with the Seahawks, but he was a disappointment in 2007 with the 49ers, catching just 46 passes for 497 yards.
