"Reportedly" being the key phrase. According to a "report" (using that term loosely) in the San Diego Tribune and on PFT, the Skins are interested in a trade for Vincent Jackson.
If you were to check my post history (not that anyone should) I wanted the Skins to draft Jackson when he was a little known college player. Nonetheless, I think the asking price might be a bit steep. He reportedly wants a B. Marshall type deal.
Since he doesn't have Marshall type production, I think that's far fetched. But here we go.

Typical... "several" teams interested, but the only one mentioned by the "unnamed source" is the Redskins... nothing would surprise me, but my bet is a ploy by the agent to get some movement.

Yeah. Whenever there is a free agent involved, the Redskins name always pops up. But, interestingly enough, in this situation, Jackson will be property of the Chargers (albeit temporarily) in the event that a trade is to be executed. If the agent were to create a false story about the Skins being interested, it means basically nothing to the Chargers since they would know whether it were true and they hold all the cards if a trade is to be made - since Jackson would need to sign his tender and the team would have to agree to deal him.
Another reason it would not make sense for the agent to be the "source" here is that the article states that he wants Brandon Marshall type-money. Not logical for an agent to publicize that demand when Jackson is still a charger, and the new team would need to give something up to get him. But, it does make sense for the Chargers to put this information out there.
Throwing the Redskins out there is a common negotiating ploy for the agents of free agents, but in this situation, this is either (i) coming from Chargers management (to drive up any potential trade market) or (ii) there might be some fire to the smoke.
The Seahawks "reportedly" made an offer last week that was rebuffed. Perhaps AJ Smith is really willing to part with him for more value, or the Skins actually did put a call in.
I like the idea of trading for Jackson, but I don't like what we would have to give up. It would take something similar to what the Broncos got (two 2nd rounders) for Marshall to get Jackson, and since we are already without our 3rd and 4th rounders for 2011, I don't like the idea of trading away additional picks. Unfortunately, San Diego already has Gates, so the one area in which we have some depth to trade away they have no need.
A third rounder is what I think Jackson is worth. I could also see a team giving up a second round pick. In my opinion I dont go any higher then a third round pick.
If I was a team in the position the skins are at WR, I'd give up a first. If you came out of a draft saying we got Vincent Jackson with a mid first rounder, you would take that.
However, if they could get him for a second in the next two drafts, that would be better. Although I doubt we have second round picks the next two years. Maybe we do. I can't keep up with the skins draft pick roulette.
We have a second in both 2011 and 2012. I wouldn't trade it for him though. We don't have a 3rd, or 4th next year and wouldn't pick again until 5. And, he wants way more than he's worth. I say give Devin Thomas and/or Kelley the opportunity to catch balls from McNabb - we may already have a stud on our team but we wouldn't know it.
Randel El was wasting space last year and with more opportunities, those guys could really shine.

1) Threatening holdout. 2) Facing suspension for his 2nd DUI.
I wouldn't give up more than what the Jets gave for Holmes.
Agreed. That's what he's worth in a trade. Better yet, instead of trading for a physically gifted WR who broke out after 3 years, maybe we can see if one of our own 3rd year WR's can break out this year.
I'd trade Haynesworth AND a 2nd rounder for V. Jackson.
Whatever it would take to get this man here would probably be worth it... all but coughing up a 1st rounder. I don't think coughing up a 1st rounder would be worth it, but then again I wouldn't be too too upset about that.
He'd be our #1 WR for years to come. Although I predict D. Thomas to break out this year.

Exactly what I thought when I heard this on the radio. It is simply not Allen's MO to put this out there. Look at the moves we have made this season. You didn't hear a peep until it was essentially done. No telling everyone who they wanted in free agency, no telling everyone who they wanted to draft ahead of time. Nothing. Not a word about McNabb until it was done. Not a word about the new orleans trade until it was done. Somebody is simply trading on the redskins reputation for their own benefit.
If this were really happening, we wouldn't be hearing a word about it.
With the Cardinals reaching the Super Bowl, is Dan Snyder officially the worst owner in the league?
why so much hate for malcom kelly........dude is legit wait and see...hes gonna get long ball looks this year......he and devin and santana will be on the fieldd lots.........
sooo lazy to read the article i know.. LOL.. but thanks for the brief recap. Well, how bout Kelly or Thomas + a 5th or 4th? or maybe one of the 48 WRs we currently have? (except Moss, he has to stay.. he's the dallas killer)
but my boy said it best though, they aren't giving him up for no weak WRs
if i'm not mistaken, the contract would have to be huge because of the 30% rule right? isn't this the reason why chris johnson hasn't gotten a contract? if we could recoup fat alberts money and get rid of him, i'd do it, but not any other way..
My children, gather round! No retreat, no surrender; that is Spartan law. And by Spartan law we will stand and fight... and die. A new age has begun. An age of freedom, and all will know, that 300 Spartans gave their last breaths to defend it!
Maybe if Haynesworth wasn't a total jacka$$ and showed up for work, acted like a human, and discreetly told management he wanted to be traded, THEN someone might want his a$$!!
