I still don't know how I feel about this. Vincent Jackson's rights are still owned by the San Diego Chargers. For some reason I always had a feeling a trade would get done and we would add a 2nd rounder and maybe something else to our plethora of picks in next years draft, apparently I was wrong.
As i am trying to remain objective on all sides I can see that all parties are somewhat at fault. First V Jack's agents are at fault for advising their agent to hold out and not sign his 3.2 million dollar tender when his value is down for being arrested for 2 DUI's, Got arrested before the Jets playoff game, and because he lost his composure in that playoff game. V Jack is at fault too, he should have known if he wanted to get a long term deal, the best way to show this organization you are worth keeping around is to show up and put the work in, the Chargers extended Antonio Gates this year and he was in camp. Of course AJ Smith is at fault, I can respect him not negotiating with holdouts but he made a mistake when he lowered the tender to 800k or something close. Then he couldn't or wouldn't trade him today, can't really say much on this because I don't know how much of the reports about the compensation I believe but if I got offered a 2nd I pull the trigger.
The Chargers can still trade him until Oct. 19th but he will not be able to play until week 7 at the earliest. V Jack is saying he just wants to play football. If this is the case, suck up your pride, sign your tender, and earn your big money contract while helping your team try to win a superbowl this year.
