SANTA CLARA, Calif. — The San Francisco 49ers waived receiver Darrell Jackson on Saturday after one unproductive season with the club.
Jackson joined the 49ers in a trade last April after eight seasons with the Seattle Seahawks. He made at least one catch in each of his 15 starts for San Francisco, but finished the season with just 46 catches for 497 yards and three touchdowns in the NFL’s least productive offense.
The 49ers signed former Rams receiver Isaac Bruce as a free agent last month. San Francisco also is close to a deal with Bryant Johnson, the Arizona Cardinals’ No. 3 receiver for the last five seasons, to play alongside Arnaz Battle and Ashley Lelie.
FALCONS: Atlanta is negotiating a trade that would send outspoken cornerback DeAngelo Hall to the Oakland Raiders for a second-round pick, the Associated Press reported. The pick would be the 36th overall choice in next month’s draft. Hall is a two-time Pro Bowl selection, but he is nearly as well known for his outspoken demeanor. He clashed openly with former Falcons coach Bobby Petrino last season and was benched for a half after a sideline confrontation. Hall was the Falcons’ No. 1 pick in the 2004 draft.
