marcVA Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 so who would we went to trade away? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceReville Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Its only a one game suspension.http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_ylt=A2KIRzrbY5JM8nwAVoA5nYcB?slug=jc-jacksonruling091610That is a reduction of his 3 game suspension from being placed by the Chargers having placed him on the roster exemption list. He is still serving a current 3 game suspension from the NFL and the other carried a 3 game suspension also. So he still is suspended for 4 games to start the year. So if he was traded this week he still would have 3 games left on his suspension.Thing is that there was a team that had made a contract deal for VJ, but the demands from the Chargers were so high for the trade that it fell through. Terms were never disclosed but VJ's agent cried foul of the Chargers.http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/09/05/vincent-jackson-had-one-year-deal-worked-out-with-another-nfl-team/?related=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenduke Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 so who would we went to trade away?Norwood - he may be ok now but in a game or two he'll be hurt again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceReville Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 so who would we went to trade away?The Chargers wanted a 2nd (2011) & 3rd (2012) for VJhttp://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/09/05/vincent-jackson-had-one-year-deal-worked-out-with-another-nfl-team/?related=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bighurt Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 (edited) I think that is too much for a player that is going to miss 4 games. I think 3rd (2011) and 3rd (2012) conditionally if he plays so much then goto a 2nd (2012). Brandon Marshall went for two 2nd picks. VJ doesn't have the production of Brandon Marshall. I don't think we give up our draft picks. If we could get another 2nd or 3rd we will do it, but I don't see that happening.

dyoshot Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Im not sure what player SD would want, however, in my opinion I would not want Jerious. They already have Darren Sproles who is very similar. However, I would be very interested in WR help. Michael Jenkins would definitely be of interest. Since VJ would be signed to a big deal having him, Roddy, and Jenkins here would be a bad idea financially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isproab Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Would love to have him. But with the current environment it makes it kind of hard when you think that he could only be available for 12 regular seasons game in 2010. A lockout could cause him to miss 2011. Then you have a high priced WR that has played 12 games for you prior to runing 29.He and Matt would need to establish a chemistry too in order to make those 12 games count.

KRUNKuno Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Do I want Vincent Jackson, YES!!!!Does the Falcons front office want Vincent Jackson, NO!!!Keep in mind we have Michael Jenkins coming back from his shoulder injury soon too. They'll milk his return as a "team and gameplan changer" until the cows come home.Reality is that it's just not gonna happen. We'll be lucky if TD and Coach Smith even ponder the idea.

FalconsfanDK Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 the chemistry thing with mark clayton and sam bradford in st. louis didn't seem to take too long to build, so if we bring him in now, there are still a few games where he's out, and he could get comfortable with the offense and matt ryan over that time.

I was just saying IF they did want a player in the deal, Jenkins would really be the only one that made sense. From the Falcons side of things, I would insist Jenkins be included regardless of what picks we use just because of the financial implications.

This front office definitely does not seem interested in the least in bringing in a new WR. At least we can dream right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This front office definitely does not seem interested in the least in bringing in a new WR. At least we can dream right?i don't know if that's completely accurate, they did get in the hunt for Boldin. My understanding is that Boldin wanted to go to baltimore. i just don't think TD is going to give up another 2nd rounder much less the next two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharky Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 so who would we went to trade away?I would gladly take VJ for MJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
