The Deal for Jason Between Vikings-Chargers Seems Hopeless

The Chargers may ultimately get little or nothing for Jackson if he, his agents and the team that eventually signs him has their way. The indication from two sources is that Jackson may structure a long-term contract with another team that includes very little money in the first year, a key component for how compensatory draft picks are determined
Both Chargers general manager A.J. Smith and agent Neil Schwartz, who represents Jackson, declined to discuss the situation. Maybe nice NFL jerseys wholesale is also important.
However, one of the factors that weighs heavily on compensatory picks is the amount of money a player gets as a free agent. Jackson might be obliged to structure a deal in such a way that he doesnĄ¯t get a hefty payday right away, hurting the Chargers in the process.
The Vikings, who are willing to sign Jackson to a one-year deal worth approximately $6 million, would throw in the conditional pick for the Pro Bowl receiver if they signed him to a long-term contract. Jackson would replace wide receiver Sidney Rice, who will miss at least the first half of the season after hip surgery in training camp.
The other issue is that there is a chance that the compensatory system could be shelved or seriously altered. Why not support your favorite teams with buying the wholesale NFL jerseys
The NFLPA has been following the Jackson situation closely over the past several weeks and has become increasingly concerned about the idea that teams are keeping players for one year rather than either signing the players to long-term deals or trading those players to teams willing to sign them.
