From CBS:

 

Vincent Jackson, WR SD

News: Comcast Sportsnet New England reports the Patriots have inquired about a trade involving disgruntled Chargers WR Vincent Jackson, a source told CSNNE Thursday. The talks are preliminary, but the idea of a trade involving Jackson for offensive lineman Logan Mankins is a possibility. Mankins is also holding out because of a contract issue. The San Diego Union-Tribune reports the asking price for Jackson is a second- and third-round pick for an NFC team and a first- and second-round pick for an AFC team.

Analysis: The Patriots just traded away Randy Moss, so they have a void to fill at the wide receiver slot. Jackson would be a perfect replacement, but it's not a given. Again, these are just preliminary talks. Still, if Jackson ends up in a New England uniform, then that would be great for his Fantasy value. He would be catching passes from Tom Brady, which is just as good as him catching passes from Philip Rivers. Jackson would still be an elite Fantasy WR.

I don't see that happening but I'll go ahead and put in a claim on VJax, just in case.

got him in 4/5 of my leagues

 

hope it happens

The Mankins factor makes it interesting. Throughout this supposedly Smith has been steadfast in his demands for draft picks. But if they could trade disgruntled for disgruntled, Smith save face to a small degree if he comes off his 2nd and 3rd demands. I still find it hard to believe two such cheapskate organizations would pony up and do a deal, but the player swap does make it seem more plausible. The Pats won't be giving a 2nd and a 3rd, I'd be stunned if they did the way they hoard them.

I think you guys are putting way too much into this division rival thing. If the round picks are there...the trade is made IMO. Maybe I'm just blind because I own him.

[Muriel23]

I want to pickup Jackson just in case this trade does go down.

 

Question is, who should I drop for him?

 

I have both Chargers WR as well as 3 players on the Texans.

 

Basically, should I drop Jacoby Jones or Legedu Nanee to pickup V Jax?

VJ to Patriots still unlikely

I love blogs. It's where something that isn't a story can be made into a story. No sarcasm. It's the perfect venue.

 

Comcast Sports' Tom Curran, as usual, is right when he reports that the Chargers and New England Patriots have talked about Vincent Jackson.

 

However, I am told it is highly unlikely anything comes of these conversations. The Chargers would require a first- and second-round pick from New England over the next two drafts. While the Patriots can afford that -- with its two picks in each of those rounds in 2011 -- they are not expected to do so.

 

Any trade (and new contract for Jackson) would have to be done by the Oct. 19 trade deadline. And Jackson, who is on the Roster Exempt List, would have to sit out three games after he signs.

 

A straight-up trade of Jackson for guard Logan Mankins , another Pro Bowler sitting out unhappy with his restricted free agent tender, is even more unlikely. The Chargers are set at guard. While Mankins played tackle in college, most NFL people do not see him as one.

i just dropped jones for vjax yesterday...and i was pretty low on waiver priority...didnt seem like anyone else was too interested in spending 20 bucks to pick him up without a resolution to his situation

 

i dont think jones has much value unless yer in a league with return yardage counted....i also have mathews/floyd....dunno how the vjax thing is going to shake out...but i think hes worth a shot here especially for jones...ive got to think he gets moved somewhere before the deadline...even if its seattle hell still hold some value....and if he doesnt....then you can drop him for somebody else if you want

brad....so jackson has to sit out 3 games once he is traded to a new team? so hes only elgible for week 7 with the chargers?

[Scooby's Hubby]

what happens to VJax if he is pulled over again and goes to jail? how big is that suspension going to be? That is what would scare me if I am New England.
