Report: Chargers likely won't give WR Jackson franchise tag

[zone]

The San Diego Chargers are not likely to give wide receiver Vincent Jackson the franchise tag if they are unable to sign him, according to the U-T San Diego.

Jackson, 28, had the franchise tag placed on him by the Chargers last offseason, resulting in a one-year contract worth around $11 million. If the team decides to place the franchise tag on Jackson for the 2012 season, it would cost around $13 million. Sources told the newspaper that the team probably would not devote that much money to a single receiver for a one-year deal.

Nix had a part in drafting him in San Diego.

If not resigning Stevie means we get to sign Vince then I'm all for it.

Why not have them both

He's a big - 6'5," 230 lb - strong guy who has averaged 17.5 YPC during his career. He'd be a great #1 to Stevie's #2.

Ralph and Littman just need to spend about $17M per season for the two.

Because of this:

No way Ralph shells out that much for one position.

I would love for us to lock Stevie up, then sign Jackson as well.

Not gonna happen though.

He forgot "blockers, passers, pass rushers, tacklers, and coverers"

Vincent Jackson is a zone killer other then that vs lock down pressure CB's usually disappears

Very few teams have two of those, many don't even have one. With Stevie and Jackson on the same side, defenses would have to pick their poison and suffer the consequences.

It's a nice fantasy, but there's no way we get both...

Matter of fact I bet we won't even keep Johnson at this point.
