Jackson's suspension isn't over...hell it hasn't even started. HE is simply finally reporting to camp.
Vincent Jackson, WR SD
News: Vincent Jackson's agent says he's told the San Diego Chargers that the WR will report next week and sign his contract tender. By reporting Oct. 29, Jackson will be able to serve a three-game, team-imposed suspension on the roster exempt list, then play in the final six games to accrue his sixth season toward unrestricted free agency. Jackson and Schwartz said earlier this fall that the receiver likely wouldn't play this year. However, Schwartz says that with the current labor uncertainty, it would be best to accrue a sixth season and become an unrestricted free agent. Jackson has refused to report because he's unhappy at not getting a long-term deal. "With the landscape of labor uncertainty, we wanted to create, at this point in time, certainty," Schwartz told the Associated Press on Thursday.
Analysis: Jackson had to report to Chargers camp by Oct. 31 in order to earn an accrued season and thus be an unrestricted free agent in 2011, so this news doesn't come as anything too surprising. A multi-game suspension is also awaiting Jackson if he does indeed end up signing a tender, so who knows how much he will play this season. If you can afford to stash Jackson away at the bottom of your bench for at least another month or so, then go ahead and do soComment -
