Exchanged some texts with Vincent Jackson, who expressed the following: "I just don't understand why (a trade was not completed)...

More VJ:"They obviously think i'm a valuable player by asking for such high trade compensation, but why am i only offered tender salary? ..

More VJ: "My agents and teams interested did everything to make it happen, but this organization stopped it. I just want to play football..

Final statement from Vincent Jackson: "It feels unethical and I am disappointed." Much more upcoming on NFL.com and NFL Network

The San Diego Chargers now--likely--have chosen a 3d-round 2012 compensatory pick for VJax instead of a 2d-rd pick in '11. Nonsensical.
AJ Smith won the pissing contest. But in the larger picture, it's a loss for him and his team.

guess AJ wanted to stick it to VJ really bad...now he has to sit what 6 games?

He has to sit the next game to finish out his 3 game suspension, then once he reports, he has to sit for 3 weeks. So in order to get a season accrued for free agency, he has to report by Week 7 - sit out the 3 weeks for being on exempt.

There's the chance that he could roll the dice and not report at all and take the chance that a new CBA allows unrestricted free agency after 4 or 5 seasons (probably likely). But if a new CBA went to 6, then he'd be right in the same position he is now.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
