Re: V. Jackson "Prepared to Sit out season"
In my opinion, V Jackson is a pure #1 receiver, altho, not in the top 12 in the league. Maybe 12 or 13, but not even top 10.

-Johnson
-Johnson Jr.
-Moss
-Marshall
-Wayne
-White
-Smith
-Welker
-Austin
-Jennings
The guy wants to get paid like he is in the top 5 or 6 WR talents in the league. Not gonna happen, and I dont blame SD for calling his bluff. If V.J. doesn't somehow get signed to a team this year, he will, in my opinion, end up losing money when he does sign a deal after the CBA or before, whichever. Plus, think about these points. He gets one year older. He doesn't play football for over a year. He loses one more year towards being UFA. Teams will want to draft their next big WR instead of picking him up for a load of $. His price will definitely go down from what he is asking for now.
BUT.............
Look at our recent history drafting WR's. Shit, look at our two "no Miss" 2nd rounders. VJ in my honest opinion is definitely worth a 2nd rounder. A second and a 5th even. I think we should swing a deal with SD, and get a proven commodity instead of fvckin whiffing in the draft. If Shanny is all about WIN NOW, why not get this top tier, young recever in his prime for McNabb to throw to? When its all said and done, alot of the experts think when he does get signed, his susp. will only be 3 games, and the xtra 3 will get canned. We need to get this deal done. And we need him in practice now.
Jackson
Moss
Armstrong............Our WR's just went from a laughing stock to the best in the NFC East, and McNabb gets an additional weapon with great hands to throw to. If we are serious about making a push, we should make this deal. Definitely worth a 2 and 5.
