BruceReville Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 San Diego wanted too much compensation for him:Trade talks over Vincent Jackson are dead between the San Diego Chargers and an unnamed team after agents for the holdout wide receiver agreed on terms for a new contract with the unnamed team, a league source told ESPN.com.The agents for Pro Bowler Jackson and the unnamed team agreed to terms on a contract Saturday after the team was given permission by San Diego to talk to Jackson, according to the source.Talks ended after the Chargers and the unnamed team reached an impasse over trade compensation, according to the source. The exact compensation package San Diego is seeking is unknown, but the team does believe Jackson is a valuable player, so it's no surprise they want a lot in return for him.San Diego's trade demands could decrease as Jackson's holdout continues or the Chargers' could let him sit out the season. Jackson has said he is prepared to sit out the entire season.Jackson held out all of training camp and the preseason, seeking a five-year contract worth $50 million, with $30 million guaranteed, sources told ESPN.com senior writer John Clayton. San Diego is balking at giving him a new deal.Jackson was deemed a restricted free agent due to the lack of a collective bargaining agreement in 2011. If he doesn't play in the final six games of the year, Jackson will not accrue a year toward free agency. In that case, if there is no lockout in 2011, he'll still be a restricted free agent when the 2010 season ends.Jackson faces a three-game suspension from the NFL after two drunken driving arrests and then must sit three more games because San Diego placed him on the roster exempt list. If he is traded, the NFL Players' Association will probably try to get Jackson off the exempt list and get him on the field after his NFL suspension is served.In August, San Diego gave Seattle permission to talk to Jackson, but the Seahawks could not come to an agreement with the receiver.I wonder who the team was he WAS going to be traded to is. Plus it seems that the NFLPA was going to try and have him removed from the exempt list thus removing his additional 3 game suspension.http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=5536612 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muskokas finest © Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 I'd read that SD wanted a 1st and 3rd initially, but the price dropped as the Saturday deadline approached. As it played out, nobody was willing to be rushed into a $50 million contract Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Servo Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Maybe Seattle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoned_jc7 Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 chicago doesn't have a history of spending money, but they did this off season. And they sure do need a number one Wr.But they probably wouldn't want to part with many draft picks...not after the Cutler deal.just floating one out there.

kiwifalcon Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Jesus why oh why would you want to go to the Rams isn't that a team you go to at the end of it all there going nowhere for a few years in my mind VJ should be looking at going to a contender the Rams please Seattle please you may aswell say your carreer is buried and your just waiting for someone to put the dirt over your coffin.VJ is in his prime now he's probably got 3-4 seasons of goodness left.Him and his agent seriously should look to go to a up and coming team.

The O.D.B Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 While I would love to have VJ's talent here, I have to say after watching a few interviews I thought he sounded like he was all about the money. I know this sounds stupid but does anyone else get the feeling that he may not blend with the team mentality the Smitty has with out guys now?? Just wondering.

dmite Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 (edited) I don't get how he can agree to a new contract with another team when he's under a current one with his current team without involving his current team in the trade talks first.

1989Fan Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 The only other team I read Jackson was given permission to talk to was the Rams (i think) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not under contract. He has a tender offer on the table.San Diego gives mystery team permission to talk to VJ, and they agree in principle deal. Then the mystery team discusses what is wanted in the trade. It's a pretty simple process, but it might take a while for a team to be willing to make the deal and give up the picks.

Anytime he was asked about making a play or what he was thinking when he did his answer ALWAYS had to do with him getting paid more money. I can't stand players like that.Then you have the Michael Turner's of the world that shut up and do the job and get rewarded after putting in their time.

If he wanted to play for a contender he would stay in SD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
