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.
