mossomo Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Well, as much as I hate to say it, the Chargers have finally ended their relationship with Vincent Jackson, and my optimism in a single interview. On Saturday, Chargers GM A.J Smith told the San Diego's Union Tribune that he fully expects Vincent Jackson to hold out until week 10 of the regular season. Smith also acknowledged that Jackson is pursuing a contract in the neighborhood of five years, $50 million. Smith's reply to the contract was that he had nothing to discuss with Jackson or his agent Click to Continue Reading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jflow78 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I'd still be completely shocked if he held out until week 10, especially since he's going to be trying to earn a huge deal from another team, now that San Diego has made it clear they've got no interest whatsoever.

Conn Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Man, that's one less elite WR to pick in fantasy, and they're tough to find as it is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenRiggins Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 I have a feeling if he holds out until week 10 he will never be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkekoa Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 He is overrated anyways. Norv Turner's offense saw Michael Westbrook and Albert Connell each catch for over 1,000 yards in the same season. Aside from that, he doesn't take double teams away from anyone b/c teams have to double Gates. Furthermore, he has an elite QB in Phillip Rivers throwing him the ball.

bulldog Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Smith is bluffing. He is not going to let this go on all season as a distraction and then end up with a player that he gets little or no compensation for in 2011. A GM has to look to the good of the team. In that regard, it is in Smith's interest to trade Jackson and get something of value back. In my mind this is posturing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smith isn't bluffing because he doesn't have any sense of knowledge of what is good for the team. This is the same guy that fired Marty Schottenheimer after a 14-2 season and hired Norv Turner who by the way hasn't done any better than Marty had except winning one playoff game. So what does he know what is best for the Chargers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 AJ Smith should really try to trade this guy and get something in return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Just hope the Redskins don't try and acquire him. We don't need a headache like him and we don't need to pay him that kind of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
