The deal initially was reported by the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
According to ESPN insider John Clayton, Jackson will make $9 million this season and $13 million over the first three years of his contract.
Jackson has led the Seahawks in receiving in two of his four NFL seasons. Last season, he had 68 catches for a career-high 1,137 yards with nine touchdowns and he remains the most productive receiver from the 2000 NFL draft class.
A former third-round pick from Florida, Jackson became the premiere receiver in free agency after a paperwork snafu prevented Terrell Owens from hitting the market and Steve Smith re-signed with the Panthers.
"Darrells ability to come off the ball, his first three steps, are getting to be as good as anybody in football," Seattle quarterback Trent Dilfer said during the 2003 season. "He runs his routes in a way that is very hard to decipher between out-cuts and in-breaking cuts and the vertical game."
The Seahawks would not necessarily disagree, but there was initially disagreement about Jacksons value. While his agent sought a deal worthy of a No. 1 receiver, the team categorized Jackson as a secondary target.
Either way, Jackson led the NFL in receptions of 40-plus yards a few years ago.

But as Tacoma News Tribune beat man Mike Sando noted early Tuesday, some observers still question Jacksons
