ChosenOne Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 SAN DIEGO -- Vincent Jackson appreciates what boxers go through, having done workouts for that sport during the 4½ months of the NFL lockout. "It was exhausting," Jackson said Friday, three hours after signing a franchise tag with the San Diego Chargers for nearly $11 million. "It was a new workout for me. It's a great workout." Jackson, coming off a Pro Bowl season in 2009, missed last year's training camp and most of the season because of a salary dispute. But for all the sparring between his agents and Chargers management, he said there isn't bad blood between him and the team. "When I came in this afternoon, it was like a reunion with your family," Jackson said in his first public comments since January. "Guys welcomed me with open arms." Among the well-wishers, he said, were Chargers president Dean Spanos and general manager A.J. Smith, who were on the other end of last year's nasty contract dispute. "We never had any confrontations, anything personal about it," Jackson said. "It is a business. Things can be shot back and forth. But honestly I've never had a problem with anybody in this building. I feel like this is home." NFL.com - Read More Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChosenOne Posted July 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 I like that he signed, but I would like it even more if he would take a reasonable contract extension. 5 years 50 million is just to much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
