It is amazing to me that there are so many haters out there for the PFT #3 Free Agent, especially when #1 and #2 are Peyton Manning and Mario Williams respectively. Should the Bucs just pass on free agency like in the past 10 years and rely on the draft for WR help?…that formula will only get you a winning record every two years or so at best.

The IRS changed that rule many years ago.

kylemc1986:

So none of our other receivers count but all of yours do?? Have fun with 3 average players and we will be good with VJ, Mike Will, and more than enough slot players (Benn, Parker, Brisco, ect…)

Jackson is totally good enough to be the number one wide receiver on a couple NFL teams! Good thing we got him!

Very sad day for Boltschick. He was my favorite Charger.

Good luck V-Jax, thanks for the memories.

I have this eerie feeling this will be a Javon Walker type of deal.

Really? This guy’s never even had 60 catches in a season has he? Not to mention he’s one bender away from being out of the league and is almost 30 years old.

Alvin Harper 2.0. God, the Bucs are a stupid organization.

Now Bowe is undeniably the best in the West, although he probably already was anyway.

People thought the Cards were nuts when they laid the big money contract on Larry Fitz as his rookie deal was expiring. He played up to it and then some. Then they did it again, and even more people winced, and thought the money was insane. With VD now getting the money he signed for today, Fitz just officially became the biggest bargain in the entire league. Well played, Mr. Bidwill. Horrendous gaffe, Mr. Glazer. Hindsight will be 20/20 – this is a massive mistake by the Bucs.

Does VJax really think Tampa of all places is going to beat NO or Atlanta in that division. No worth the $$$

29 is not old for a WR. Galloway was older in Tampa and had 3 thousand yard seasons.

Freeman is a great QB…and for the guy asking who will throw deep to him, you clearly don’t know anything about Freeman.

But this signing was not just about Freeman. It was for Sullivan too.

Historically the Bucs offense has not been that great, and with a new HC with no NFL experience, this move will end up being a bust, plus this guy has Saran wrap for hamstrings will miss 3-5 games a year.

What people fail to understand is that some teams overpay but if that player works out for that team and gets them a step closer who gives a rip about how much they are making.

Good on the Bucs.

I knew we would have to overpay for any talent for this team. Nobody really wants to come here.

Good luck Vincent Jackson:) I wish you could have taken less to stay with the Chargers, but understand… I just hope that you don’t miss out on a Super Bowl.

Money wasted….bucs still the third best team in that division….they’ll cut him after 2 seasons after guarantees are up.

By: jcdavey2011

jcdavey2011 — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 00:57:55 +0000

he should have taken less to go to a real team, like NE or the giants

now he’s shown what everyone knew, he’s only out for the payday

this is why high priced FA winners fail

because they’re usually just about the money, no team chemistry at all

Maybe Gary Anderson will come out of retirement and give them a running game

As a Charger fan and San Diego native, I can’t for the life of me comprehend what game AJ Smith is playing with this team. He is leaving holes everywhere in this roster that no single great draft can fix, nor does it seem he’s going after any real free agents.

I’ve long since felt the Chargers were leaving for LA. Maybe they’re gutting the roster to avoid costs in a move and tanking the season. They’ll justify it by the contracts given to Gates, Rivers, and Weddle. Meanwhile the rest of the team is a cheap scrubfest. I hope Peyton comes to Denver, I think they can win a superbowl right now. Go AFC West from your new bitch… Chargerfan!

Welcome to Tampa Mr Jackson. Run your routes, make touchdowns, murder the ‘Taints and Dirty Birds; and stay away from Aqib Talib (until he is thrown in prison) and you will do fine. Oh, and keep away from 717 on South Howard. Thats Raheem’s old hangout.

That being said… are you kidding! The bucs killed this one. When he slows down in 4 years make him a TE. The man is is a beast and worth every damn 5

Absolutely love it! Now we need Nicks to shore up the line and the Pewter Offense gets a major boost! GO BUCS!!

Too bad Josh Freeman isn’t Phillip Rivers.
