V. Jackson "Prepared to Sit out season"

What kind of drugs are you people smoking?

Seriously.
I believe it's a weed called Florio.

We're working out a Rams WR...some guy...

Twitter / Howard Balzer: Rams officially re-signed ... (http://twitter.com/HBalzer721/statuses/25827320509)

I think I know what A.J will eventually do...

He does not want to take the chance of VJ holding out all season as his agents appear to be very serious about this.

He knows he just can't get the compensation for what he wants and the Moss deal will be what helps him make this decision imo..

I do believe him,when he says that he wants more from AFC teams in compensation than what he would take from an NFC team.

But here's the kicker...he's gonna want to screw VJ as much as possible I believe...So he will trade VJ to a team that has a week 6 BYE (trade deadline) or beyond.

This narrows the teams that get VJ to this list imo (NFC Teams)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Week 6 bye=Cardinals,Panthers
Week 7 bye=Lions
Week 8 bye=Falcons,Bears,Giants,Eagles
Week 9 bye=Niners,Rams,Redskins
Week 10 bye=Packers,Saints

This would give VJ,one less game even beyond his suspension which will justify A.J. giving in and blinking...imo

Now the only teams I can see possibly getting VJ,would be the Rams,Panthers and Redskins of that list above.

Rams=Bradford has played well with what he has,but with their injuries..VJ could help big time,not to mention that they are in the hunt at 2-2 to win the division!
Panthers=similar situation as Rams with Smith going down and Clausen getting the start now but this would be a move for their future, as they probably feel they aren't winning it this season.
Redskins=Outside of a few plays here and there from Armstrong and Moss,Shanny will want to give McNabb some help that the Eagles never did in his tenure there. Plus,this will be important with Portis out and Shanny going with a running game,even he's not sure about. (I see Roydell as the odd man out,giving us VJ,Moss,Armstrong,Galloway,Thomas and Banks) Could also be Devin Thomas with all we are hearing,so who knows here?

But this is the tricky part...we don't have the 2011 picks that A.J. and the chargers want...The Redskins do not have a 3rd or 4th rounder in the 2011 draft. (Mcnabb and Brown trade)

..and we aren't giving them the 2nd that A.J. wanted or the deal would have been done by now. (we even already have a contract set up for the guy at 4 yrs/44 Million)

So I see the Redskins giving them our 5th rounder. (the one we swapped up/down to get Carriker for a steal) in the 2011 draft and our 2012 3rd rounder.

This is better compensation than the Moss deal(and Holmes) and what the chargers would get in compensation in the compensatory pick.(Which would be a very low 3rd rounder after everyone has picked in that round) btw..his agents said he would sign a cap 1st year friendly deal as a free agent to screw the chargers out of their 3rd round compensatory pick as well...which helps in us trading for him too.

So there you have it!
I expect a deal to go down sometime next week after the Green Bay game, that has to made before the Colts game as the trade deadline hits. But who knows? That A.J. seems to be a stubborn fool..lol

Lets hope A.J. blinks! :food-smil

ugh I thought this was a thread with some real news, merging with the existing VJ thread.

For someone who claims to "know" football, you sure let your own biases cloud your judgement.

Don't worry Matt,we will be able to put the headlines "Redskins trade for Jackson" link right here inside this baby...:biggthump

I get a lot of crap for my 14-2 sig...and I'll admit..I deserve it.

But it isn't near as bad as your Fire Haslett,hire Wade sig dude...

I would hire Greg Blache back,before hiring humpty dumpty...unbelievable!

"The Patriots have explored the possibility of trading for Jackson, reports Comcast Sportsnet.
Spin: Earlier reports indicated long odds on this potential trade, citing Jackson's contract status and off-field issues as reasons for the poor fit. While those concerns are still valid, this latest report suggests offensive lineman Logan Mankins could be the trade bait that gives this rumor new legs. Mankins, like Jackson, is holding out after electing to not sign his tender offer this past offseason. A deal is far from imminent and still unlikely, but with the Patriots' new perceived hole at wide receiver, the rumor probably won't die until Jackson's actual future is known." from Rotowire

I just can't see the chargers/AJ trading their prime WR to the patriots and having it come back to bite them.

Not to mention they would be trading one problem for another as both Mankins and VJ want to get paid and have new contracts and both franchises are cheap.

Plus,although the Patriots have the picks to make the deal,the chargers are going to want WAY more for VJ,than the Patriots will be willing to make.

Like Mankins plus picks...
This deal isn't happening imo..

VJ will go to an NFC team,if he's dealt at all...
I'm staying with the Rams,Panthers or Redskins as my top 3 possibilites.
