Tarvaris Jackson has been arrested in Florida. The police report indicates he pointed a loaded gun at his wife during an argument. He has been booked on charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
This story was first reported by Chris Hush of WESH in Orlando.
Jackson was reportedly intoxicated. His wife, with a gun aimed at her, supposedly had the confidence to quip, “You better be accurate because you ain’t accurate on the field.”
With Jackson being a marginal veteran, this incidents makes it less likely that the Seahawks will re-sign him. They have so far liked what they’ve seen out of free agent rookie Trevone Boykin, who as an undersized scrambler has some similarities to Russell Wilson. He’ll probably be their backup.
On the topic of backup quarterbacks. If we set aside the most likely opening day starter for each team, this is how I’d rank the next-best quarterback on each roster. This is standard scoring, and I’m ranking them based on dynasty value. That is, long-term value, rather than the possibility they might do something in 2016.
