teams have begun negotiating with Vincent Jackson

something we should pursue? do we have a second round pick left? he might be worth a first round pick. he's a proven player whereas next years first rounder could be hit or miss.

i would hope we would consider getting involved but i am sure we'll just stick with jarrett.

No, we don't have a 2nd rounder. Next year's 2nd rounder went to take AE this year.

As for us making this move....not even a 1% chance of this happening.

It is not the picks, but the money. We are a run first offense and stout defense team. With the salary cap, I just don't see this team paying premium money for two WR's. The money will be spent elsewhere.

I would LOVE to see us pick up another WR the calibre of Jackson. However, in this offense, a solid #2 is all that is needed. Problem is that we can't seen to even find that.

it would be awesome to pick him up he is only 27 too, on the upside of his career; problem is panthers already have a bunch of WRs they need to test out and I doubt they get him. I wonder how much money he wants maybe they'll settle for a third...

Another wasted thread. How many guys have we signed this year who were malcontents with other teams. How many long term contracts have we given to our own core players other than draft picks?

Yeah I can see us giving a 27 guy a long term contract, especially one who didn't sign his tender and has held out.

No chance in hell we sign him.

    • I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
    • Depends if they see the writing on the wall with their roster and contracts and decide to bite the bullet and begin a complete rebuild and roster overhaul.  I have no clue why some franchises (IE us) refuse to do this and keep half assing trying to win 8 games or so.  Do it correctly, take your lumps and build a contender.  We shall see what loomis decides.
    • Each team plays 17 games.  I do not see why they don't just have each team play one international game per year.  Neutral site game, 8 home, 8 away.
