Haslett said ankle is still bothering Haynesworth so I doubt he'd be involved in anything

possible I guess

my gut says we don't land him, though we might be in the best position to

idk

Less than 1 hour to go.

If we really want to dig deep, lemme go Florio for a minute on you, Armstrong not in practice, tells us to refer to Shanahan for his condition. To me that just means keeping it in-house and respecting the coach's wishes to not give away too much.

Shanahan all but shot down Vincent Jackson rumors: "It's rumor. There's no credence to it."

[DynamiteRave]

I think this FO is much more open than last year's... If Shanahan says its a rumor.. I'm prone to believe it. Much more likely than if Zorn was to say, "it's a rumor." ... Then we end up bringing like 3 dudes we didn't even need.

Welp...that was fun.

[over the mountain]

a fake twitter report with a link to a rick-rolled carlton dancing video would be great right now.

[tryfuhl]

doesn't look like anyone's gonna land him

[artmonkforhallofamein07]

they want to much for him

San Diego Chargers reject several offers for Vincent Jackson, sources say - ESPN

[CRedskinsRule]

Peter King pretty much sums it up:

AJ Smith won the pissing contest. But in the larger picture, it's a loss for him and his team. less than 20 seconds ago via TweetDeck

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. 2 minutes ago via TweetDeck

[tryfuhl]

And we complain about the Haynesworth fiasco, at least it's not that crazy

[aceinthehouse]

A. J. Smith is officially the dumbest GM in the league. At the very BEST,he will get a 3rd round compensatory pick in the 3rd round. (that's the 3rd round picks After all the teams have picked in the 3rd round...very low..almost 4th rounder)

and I've heard,that's not even a guarentee because it depends on the contract offered to VJ when he walks in the offseason.

and that's if he even gets anything at all with the lockout and new CBA rules after negotiations.

The only thing to keep him from looking REALLY stupid,is to meet VJ's contract demands,which looks like won't happen with A.J. Smith's ego...

But from Shefter,ESPN and NFL Network,there were MULTIPLE teams with a contract ready and compensation.

The Vikings already had a 2nd rounder and an additional Pick that A.J. has turned down...Which is already more than what they will get in return for losing VJ.

PLUS...they had control of where they would send him...NFC and out of division...
When VJ walks next season,not only could the Chargers not get ANYTHING in return for him or a comp 3rd at best...but he could choose to sign with Denver,Oakland or K.C. and be in their division or with a different AFC team.

Not to mention,i'm hearing that VJ can sit out the remainder 2010 season if he chooses too....
Not play at all....! lol

A.J. ego cost his team Huge....
Plus,any decent draft picks would be good to have from what I'm hearing...
A very deep WR class...

All in all...

A.J. is an idiot! lol

VJ's stock just dropped now...
With his suspension and the season underway...if he does change his mind by week 6 and the trade deadline...A.J. won't get close to what he was offered today.

Again,his ego screwed himself and the team's future.
Might get him fired too...
