Exchanged some texts with Vincent Jackson, who expressed the following: "I just don't understand why (a trade was not completed)...

More VJ:"They obviously think i'm a valuable player by asking for such high trade compensation, but why am i only offered tender salary? ..

More VJ: "My agents and teams interested did everything to make it happen, but this organization stopped it. I just want to play football..

Final statement from Vincent Jackson: "It feels unethical and I am disappointed." Much more upcoming on NFL.com and NFL Network

The San Diego Chargers now--likely--have chosen a 3d-round 2012 compensatory pick for VJax instead of a 2d-rd pick in '11. Nonsensical.
AJ Smith won the pissing contest. But in the larger picture, it's a loss for him and his team.

guess AJ wanted to stick it to VJ really bad...now he has to sit what 6 games?

He has to sit the next game to finish out his 3 game suspension, then once he reports, he has to sit for 3 weeks. So in order to get a season accrued for free agency, he has to report by Week 7 - sit out the 3 weeks for being on exempt.

There's the chance that he could roll the dice and not report at all and take the chance that a new CBA allows unrestricted free agency after 4 or 5 seasons (probably likely). But if a new CBA went to 6, then he'd be right in the same position he is now.

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
