Chargers' Jackson, McNeill face pay cuts if they don't sign tenders

NFL.com

The San Diego Chargers have drawn a line in the sand with restricted free agents Vincent Jackson and Marcus McNeill, warning them that their 2010 salaries will be cut deeply if they don't sign their tenders by June 15, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported Tuesday.

General manager A.J. Smith told the newspaper that the Chargers sent letters to Jackson, their leading receiver in 2009, and McNeill, their starting left tackle.

Sources told the Union-Tribune that sending letters to the players only would exacerbate the situation and that both are prepared to sit out at least a portion of the 2010 season and potentially all of it.

Jackson, 27, made the Pro Bowl for the first time last season after totaling 1,167 receiving yards and a career-high nine touchdowns. McNeill, 26, is a two-time Pro Bowl selection.

Jackson's salary would be reduced from $3.268 million to $583,000 if he doesn't sign in the next week. McNeill's salary would drop from $3.168 million to $600,000.

Linebacker Shawne Merriman also has missed offseason workouts, but his tender ($3.269 million) is for 110 percent of his 2009 salary.

Im surprised that a lot of players aren't clamoring to get traded to Denver so they can get paid.

Hey knowmo, any word yet on why Vincent Jackson hasn't tweeted about his love affair and desire to play for Denver?

I'm fully expecting Dumberville to become one of the highest paid at his position, and would assume that several other RFA are requesting trades to Denver so they can see some fat checks too.

Is it because Denver is too uber and doesn't want them?

From your own link, jackass...

Still, he said it's not enough to get a deal done. And it's now clear that "enough" will be the money paid to Raiders cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha (i.e., $15.1 million per year), plus at least one dollar.

thanks for playing

Another followup on how SD is playing this out...

They signed former buffalo receiver Josh Reed to compete at receiver.

Which begs the question:

WTF happened to Buster Davis?

Yeah, but I wonder why? What is he not doing? I mean, hell, he hasn't even gotten on the field to prove he's a bust yet.

And Malcom would be wise to

. He has done nothing in the NFL yet.

Players and their agents fear a lock out next year and if I were an agent for a premier player, I would probably be pushing to try and get something signed sealed and delivered sooner rather than later.

Especially after seeing Denver ink that guard to that huge free agent contract worth 5 mill/yr after chasing off Marshall, Cutler, Sheffler and Nolan. Those guys sure know how to retain players...lol

Contrary to popular belief, I don't have any and all answers to Jets questions but I DO know that he is quasi-threatening at this point and using phrases like "moving on".

Probably just posturing.

Everyone here knows that each position has its own pay scale. That was never my argument. My argument was that the Chagers RFA's notice when other RFA's get longterm deals and it will upset them because their own team is using the whole CBA situation as an excuse not to give them big bucks.

And Elvis said that he plans to sign that tender by Monday in this radio interview. http://a1135.g.akamai.net/f/1135/182...dio_Interviews

And McDaniels said that they plan to get his deal done soon.

Quote:

"We've got plenty of time here in the next couple of days. I'm sure everything is going to work out fine," coach Josh McDaniels said.

McDaniels said Broncos general manager Brian Xanders is continuing to work with Dumervil's agent on a new long-term contract that has "nothing to do with" the restricted free agent tender situation.

"We want to continue to push to get everything done that we want to get done, which is to have him here for a long time," McDaniels said. "So, there's no negative tone at all. We're going to do the best we can to make sure he's here for as long as we can keep him."

Brandon Marshall said he was willing to stay in Denver if they would pay him. Cutler and Marshall were not in McDaniels long term plans. And those guys didn't just walk away. We got 2 first round picks, two second round picks, a 3rd round pick, and Kyle Orton in those trades.

So far those trades have netted us Kyle Orton,Robert Ayers, Demaryius Thomas, Eric Decker, Richard Quinn, Zane Beadles, an unused 2nd round pick, and Tim Tebow. Those two trades have the potential to build a dynasty in Denver.

Shit, I just hope the deal you guys sign him to is realistic cause Tambas agent will be going off his deal as a measuring stick next year. Also, Albert doesn't seem to have issues handling him so you guys re-signing him wouldnt bother me a bit.

Even if you guys do sign him, that doesnt effect Vincent Jackson or Marcus McNeil one bit. It just shows that Denver wanted to keep one guy.

How did they handle the similar contract situation they had with Branden Marshall?

Quesadilla Joe · 06-11-2010, 08:01 PM

Denver didn't feel comfortable with giving Marshall a longterm deal. Elvis Dumervil has never been arrested, doesn't care about stats, and is a great team player. The Marshall situation is a lot different from Elvis Dumervil's.

wait... lemme get this straight...

orton (journeyman), ayers (bust), thomas (future bust), decker (not even good enough to be called future bust), beadles (will likely be decent), tebow (haha, don't even get me started) and (who you didn't mention) alphonso smith (bust) are going to be a dynasty?

jesus titty****ing tapdancing christ--you're the biggest homer I've ever seen in my life.
