If he shows up for practice with the team and continues to behave along the lines of his public statements for the past 6 months [I'll never wear a Chargers uniform again; I have money set aside so I can sit out a whole season; the Chargers are preventing me from getting the contract I deserve somewhere else.] he may not be activated for the games that he is eligible to play.

Suppose the Chargers' season tanks and they are 3-7 or 2-8 when Jackson is eligible. Maybe they sit him out in a luxury box upstairs to watch the game; that has been known to happen in some NFL towns.

If he shows up with his "entitlement attitude", I doubt they even offer him a contract this year or in the off-season. If he shows up ready to work hard and play well - - we shall see.

One scenario no one seems to have considered as possible is that Jackson pulls down another DUI between now and his eligibility date. Could happen...
