Vincent Jackson wants no franchise tag "for life"??
Vincent Jackson remains a thorn in side of labor deal
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on July 22, 2011, 4:44 PM EDT AP Patriots guard Logan Mankins made it clear Thursday he’s not looking for anything in return for being an antitrust plaintiff. As Florio mentioned last night, Vincent Jackson remains a bit of a problem. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Jackson continues to demand $10 million or no franchise tag for life, despite Jackson’s public claims to the contrary. While Jackson hasn’t made the demands himself (of course), people “close to him” have made the demands. Florio mentioned the NFLPA* fears a lawsuit from Jackson. The Chargers receiver has somehow become an issue for both sides of the labor dispute. It’s unclear how Jackson’s situation will be resolved, but it would be shocking for the NFL to back down and give Jackson anything. Schefter suggests Jackson could continue to sue the league even after the antitrust plaintiffs step down. |

How about blacklisting him for life instead. Let him flourish in the UFL.

As part of the agreement, owners should add language that says VJ will never play another down of NFL football. fix his wagon.
Wasn't he a huge douchebag with his first contract and holdout later? |

I've never understood what's so goddamn awful if you're a player who receives the franchise tag.
It's not like you're not going to get paid a handsome amount of money |

You get hurt under a long term deal, you still have your signing bonus and subsequent years of salary. You get hurt on the Tag, especially a serious (let's say knee) injury late in the year, and you're ****ed going into FA. |

I'd think the owners could shake hands in a back room and say "Ok Princess Jackson...You'll never have the franchise tag".
cut his ass on day 1 and no one give him a phone call. |

I'd love that. Only problem is it wouldn't exactly help their battle against the collusion and monopoly tags.
