bossFALCON™ Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 The San Diego Union-Tribune reports that the Chargers are now more open to the idea of trading Vincent Jackson, and are targeting the deadline of Saturday afternoon to complete a deal.The Chargers have permitted only Seattle to speak to V-Jax to this point, but are reportedly considering opening the door to other interested teams. The Jackson camp is now saying its target contract is less than the initially reported $50 million over five years, with $30 million guaranteed. A trade would be a best case scenario for both sides. Chargers GM A.J. Smith could get a premium pick and a headache off the roster. V-Jax could play football.chargers are only asking for a 2011 2nd and a 2012 3rd. he doesn't want that groundbreaking contract anymore, so i'll all on the VJ bandwagon. bring em home TD!!!jackson and white would give us two probowl caliber WRs for the next 6-8 years. those 3 weeks jackson is suspended he could be picking up the playbook getting ready to make a championship run with this offense.SIDENOTE: Don't forget that TD did try to trade for anquan boldin this past offseason.

paulitik Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 I have to admit, beginning of TC, I was 100% against it. After Meier went down and then watching our WRs this pre-season, I'm with you. I think it would be good for Roddy having someone of VJax's talent nipping at his heels. I like Jenks, but VJax is just on a whole other level. Jenks got paid and took a step back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King ED Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 I don't believe TD tried to trade for Boldin, simply looked into it. Due diligence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durrty Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Those are some serious picks there. I don't know.However, Rod & V-Jax sounds like a pretty good tandem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossFALCON™ Posted September 3, 2010 Author Share Posted September 3, 2010 I don't believe TD tried to trade for Boldin, simply looked into it. Due diligence.boldin said in an interview in the offseason that the falcons, ravens and another team were the top 3 bidders, but the ravens offered more than us.

The Falcon Jedi Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 tj is declining... im not ure i would want him here... jackson is more physical and tough, and we know ryan loves to throw thw ball a bit high (kind of like jurt warner does) and TJ would be the perfect fit for thatTJ is not declining. He has just been in a horrible system for him in Seattle. He was actually the Bengals #1 WR above Ochocinco. Look the stats up. TJ is money when the ball is thrown to him. But he suffered in Greg Knapp's crap offense (remember those days?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durrty Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 My only concern would be whether Mularkey can/will utilize him effectively within the system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulitik Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 (edited) Well, we will know for sure by Tomorrow (Saturday) Night. If VJ doesn't sign his tender by then he's out 8 games. Edited September 3, 2010 by paulitik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcons 'til Death Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 My linkIt looks like he might not be going anywhere this year with the Chargers only allowing teams that they approve of talking to him. Probably looks like they're jockeying for the best picks possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Lewis Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Vincent Jackson would be very nice. He probably is/could be that one key ingredient on offense that we are missing to take us to that next level. I dont really trust Houshmanzadeh anymore, and with the uncapped year/threat of a hold out I dont care who costs more. But a proven LARGE SIZED receiver is better than an unproven 2nd and 3rd round pick. And as we all know, it doesnt matter if its the 1st or 7th round, they could end up being a HoF'mer or a complete bust...cough Charles Rogers, cough Ted Ginn, Cough Troy Williamson...just sayin. But well see.Ray Lewis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King ED Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 TJ was never the #1 for the Bengals. He was always the #2 behind 85. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Falcon Jedi Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 TJ was never the #1 for the Bengals. He was always the #2 behind 85.Look up the stats the past few years. TJ had way more yards and receptions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atljbo Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Look up the stats the past few years. TJ had way more yards and receptions. Thats because #2 CB's checked him plus he lined up in the slot allot...Ocho was there #1... I like TJ if we can get him at a cheaper price (wont pay 7 million a year for him) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Falcon Jedi Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 true, but you know jedi likes to talk without having any knowledge, here are their numbers in case anyone is doubting itT.J.OchocincoThe funniest thing is he writes "check the stats" LOL why do people do that? they just look foolishOk you know what Captain Smartass - I dont care. We arent going to get either WR, so this whole discussion doesnt even matter. Both are going to cost a LOT to get, and we arent going to pay all that to get either of them. I like TJ the most. He has been in the wrong system. He excelled in Cincinnati, and I think he would excel here opposite Roddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King ED Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Look up the stats the past few years. TJ had way more yards and receptions.In 2008, Chad Ochocinco played the entire year with a dislocated shoulder if I remember correctly, he was injured I know for sure. In 2007, Chad Ochocinco beat him out in yardage, and Chad Ochocinco lead the league in receiving yards in 2006. It is like in NE. Yeah, Welker gets more receptions and sometimes even more yards, but Randy Moss is the #1 option up there. TJ was more of an underneath guy, and so while Chad stretched the field and pulled off coverage, TJ would tear it up underneath. The difference between TJ and Welker though is that TJ is a better red zone target. I personally wouldn't mind having TJ for the right price. He's better than Jenkins, no question. I'd prefer Vincent Jackson over him... well, CJax does have some character questions...Either way, both would be huge upgrades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atljbo Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 would love to see green/floyd/baldwin in a falcon uni next yearFloyd remind me of a young TO (on the field) .. I think we will have a chance to draft him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1989Fan Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 I would give Jenks and a 3rd, thats it.IF we got a guy like Jackson, Jenkins would have no spot on the team, especially at 5M per season.Jenkins would have to be part of the deal....period.

Beef Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Ain't gonna happen folks. WAY too expensive & neither pass the TD/Smitty character test. No sense even bringing this up it's such an impossible situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
