he has multiple DUI's and is one screw up away from being suspended for an entire season. plus he held out nearly an entire season and may have cost Chargers a playoff run.

not exactly a team player if you ask me. phenomenal receiver but he has a lot of baggage.

AJ Smith is an uberdouche

AJ Smith is an uberdouche

word. if I remember correctly he turned down multiple trade offers for V-Jax just to spite him.

Did not know this. I'd trust Rivera's judgment since he does have experience with him although I don't think he will be adding any WR but just add a receiving TE. As far as players holding out, they do it a lot to get away form the team, hell Palmer threatened to retire. I think VJ wanted out bad might not remember that right. I like the list of FA wrs but I doubt any of them (that are good) are going anywhere.

oh trust me I'd love to have VJax here. he is one of the best WR's in the game, but it's understandable why we wouldn't go after him.

IIRC, Jackson's changed his stance on holding out if franchised, probably cause it's going to be for just over 10M, as opposed to the 3M he was getting with the RFA tender.

one reason i think we at least look at floyd is that the san diego system has depended on big receivers. floyd knows the system and still has a good few years left. i don't care about the mentor thing, but we know that he isn't the risk that someone like VJax is. we also really don't have anyone that can compare with him. both lafell and gettis have a little size on them, but floyd is about 20 pounds heavier than either one and has at least an inch on both.

Top guys almost never become available so it was always a pipe dream. Only chance really would be to target players from a team like the Raiders/Jets/Vikes who have multiple deserving guys expiring and only one tag. Too bad the Panthers also seem to be in that position as well so I don't think they are going to outbid everyone on whichever of the 4 receivers hits the market. The only TE I think they have a shot at worth getting is Boss.
