No, he's not young-young, but he's also in the same class as, without the same dropoff risk of, guys like Moss and Steve Smith.

You think him and Rice deserves top 5 money?

Oh, of course. You give me someone as proven as Jackson (and then to a lesser proven extent, Rice and Austin), and those are your surest bets from an investment perspective. (Rice's injury would hurt his value a bit).

I'm sure they'd compromise and take top ten money, and then both sides would be happy, but the reason that Jackson is such a lost man in San Diego is because hes a FA next offseason, and he's already suspended for 3+ weeks. That's not valuable to them, but it's very valuable to other teams. I don't blame SD at all for holding him until they get an offer they like.

But now, they pretty much just have two suitors for him: us and Seattle. That lowers the trade compensation substantially.

Give me your top 5.

Fitzgerald, Johnson, Wayne, Jackson, either Moss or Smith at five.
