SEATTLE (AP) — Russell Wilson made it clear this offseason that something had to be done about the offensive line for him to remain on board with the direction of the Seahawks.
It was essentially an ultimatum from Seattle’s franchise quarterback.
And that’s where Gabe Jackson comes into the picture. Deemed expendable by the Las Vegas Raiders after seven seasons, he quickly caught on with the Seahawks, who jumped at the opportunity to add a proven veteran in the mold of their prototypical interior offensive lineman.
“As an offensive lineman, or a player in general, I feel like you’re always under a microscope,” Jackson said during a video conference Tuesday.
