Blackmon, V. Jackson, Amendola, Bradford, S. Jackson, and Kendricks. This sounds like a solid offense if the Rams can fix the o-line. Go for it Stan.

The Chargers are going NOWHERE with AJ Smith as a GM!!!!

He’s a jerk and Steve Foley can confirm it!!!!

Eagles are ready to offer 10–12 mill per year…..so the chargers better pony up, otherwise it’s Philly bound bc the talent is there and the eagles will be much better this year.

Dear Mr. Jackson, Come on down to the Carolina and play with a old coach and catch some throws from Mr. Cam Newton

Both sides need each other. Just get something done. Gates is no longer the beast he used to be. Phillip Rivers needs this guy in the passing game.

Come on over to Tampa V-Jax, we need someone of your talent to spread the field to make Mike Williams and Benn better, then we can draft Trent Richardson and have the 2-headed monster with him and Blount

i’d rather take his money and get a wallace or some other wr

i love alot of things VJ has done with the chargers, but i feel he quits on routes too often, and i just think if they throw huge bank at him, the DUIs will come back

i don’t trust the guy

I’d say maybe 7-8 mil a year is good but I know he’s looking for that 10-11 mil a year. I’d still take that 7-8 if I was him.

No Jackson – no Super Bowl shot. Actually – even with Jackson – the Chargers D sucks so bad and Coach Norbert the Dull is so lackluster that I doubt they even win the AL West.

Eagles would not want Vincent Jackson because he is going to turn 30 years old after the season.

At least one person in San Diego is speaking of a long term deal getting done. “Vincent Jackson and the Chargers absolutely have to come up with a deal that’s at least three years” commented VJ’s probation officer earlier this week.

Also, this offseason is ridiculous in its Franchise obsession. Never have there been so many [non-] stories about whether a team will or will not franchise somebody. Report it when it happens, please. There are not 20 players at each position worthy of a top-5 salary.

Yes, I realize the perk of the one-year commitment that makes the value proposition reasonable for a top-15 type player.

Franchise tag: ~$12 million

Why pay a top-5 salary to a dude with a high probability of a holdout/hangover into season? Since it would only be a one-year lockdown of Jackson, sign a gaggle of WRs to one-year deals for the same total price and let them battle it out for a spot.

Suggestions: Randy Moss ($2 million), Laurent Robinson/ManningH.A.M. (feel free to go long-term), Terrell Owens (post-physical and at vets’ minimum).

Players get injured. At a price of $10 million total, you sign 2 complementary starters (one a long-term answer) and a capable backup / a real “sit up” guy

is he still suspended for a year if he gets another strike? or is that gone with the new CBA?

anyone know?

As a Chargers fan, I will say that 10-11 million a year is too much for VJ.
