The San Diego Chargers will not hesitate to trade unhappy wide receiver Vincent Jackson if he really carries out his plan to skip the whole 2010 NFL regular season in dissatisfaction with not receiving a long-term contract. Or, the team may start trade talks even before the player carries out the plan.
According to reports, the Chargers have been reached by several teams with interests in Jackson. The buyers unsurprisingly include the Seattle Seahawks and surprisingly also include the Minnesota Vikings. Remaining a restricted free agent, Jackson does not seem to like the idea of playing football in Vikings jersey with a group of big-name receivers. He is in hope for a considerable long-term deal matching his starting role, not a backup role in an elite team. By comparison, the Seahawks have always been looking for qualified starting receiver. They previously contacted Brandon Marshall for possible cooperation but Marshall finally was traded to the Miami Dolphins. Now for the second chance to get a great wide receiver, the Seahawks could make a bigger offer to allure Jackson and so they are likely to give Jackson what he wants.
The Chargers will still have a big group of wide receivers even after Jackson is traded away. Whether the remaining receivers are as great as Jackson, their obedience will at least make it easier to run the team.
