Rumors, rumors, and more rumors
Last week the word on the street was that the San Diego Chargers were looking to deal their No. 1 wideout, Vincent Jackson. That's despite the fact that Jackson hasn't signed his tender yet and could be facing a three-game ban for violating the league's personal conduct policy following a DUI charge in the offseason. Some think Jackson may even sit out if San Diego doesn't re-work his contract. So, there's a lot to digest here.
Chargers prepared to play without Jackson
"We lost a couple of great players ... and it hurts," Chargers GM A.J. Smith told the San Diego Union-Tribune last month. "We are trying to build a championship team, and losing the services of both Vincent and Marcus [McNeil] just made that more difficult -- but not impossible. In due time, Coach [Norv] Turner will name two new starters. We will rally as a team, compete and try to win as many games as we can."
Even with Antonio Gates going over the middle to haul in everything in his time zone, playing without Jackson for the year would be really rough for the Chargers, who are counting on Josh Reed (of all people) to fill the void.
