The Facts: Jackson will take his physical at team headquarters today, before he and his representative Brian Mooney sit down with Broncos officials. The two sides have already agreed on the financial parameters of a contract, so it appears Jackson is only a handshake away from becoming the latest receiver with an NFL pedigree to join the Broncos.

Diehards Line:With 487 career receptions and 50 touchdowns in eight NFL seasons, Jackson, 29, will compete with Keary Colbert, whom the Broncos culled from the free-agent market last month, at No. 2 receiver. Besides Jackson, the Broncos also signed former Kansas City receiver Samie Parker this week to a one-year deal. As Post staffer Mike Klis suggests, adding Jackson and Parker to a pass-catching stable that already included Brandon Marshall, Brandon Stokley and Colbert implies the Broncos won't be taking a receiver in the first two rounds of the draft next week.
