Vincent Jackson will report to the Chargers/ Logan Makins will report to Pats

[Dpantherman]

Restricted free agents Vincent Jackson and Logan Mankins both will report this season to their respective teams, the San Diego Chargers and New England Patriots, upon recommendation from the National Football Players Association, according to several sources.

Under this scenario, Jackson will report to the Chargers by Oct. 31 and Mankins will report to the Patriots by Nov. 16 to earn an accrued season and secure unrestricted free agency in 2011.

By Jackson and Mankins earning a sixth accrued season, the only way the Chargers and Patriots can restrict their free agency in 2011 would be to place a franchise tag on them next February at a considerably higher guaranteed value than the restricted contract tenders. A transition tag also would be available for the Chargers and Patriots instead of the franchise tag, but the teams would not receive any draft pick compensation and would only have right of first refusal on any contract the players signed with another team.

I added VJ to my fantasy team last week just in case

[Kevin Greene]

Wonder if he'll get a contract like McNeil?

I guess no.

I guess no.

That would be the ultimate shocker, but I have a hunch that Floyd will get his money.

The Chargers will not extend him. Even if he walks the Chargers will get a 3rd rounder for him.

Floyd will get paid.

VJ has to sit out at least 4 games, I would not worry about it. Norv will not play him, or for that matter activate VJ if he will not help them win.

That team is in serious Special Teams trouble, and VJ does not play ST, he may not play.

Then again, the no. 1 O in the league may play him anyway and get that much more explosive....crapshoot.
