Vincent Jackson Hasn't Heard From The Chargers About A New Deal

While sources suggest general manager A.J. Smith is now “comfortable” exploring a long-term deal for Vincent Jackson, the Chargers wide receiver said he has yet to speak to Smith himself. “There hasn’t been any communication as far as contracts go,” Jackson said following Wednesday’s Pro Bowl practice. “If that’s their feeling, that’s great. I would like to stay in San Diego. Obviously, that’s my home, that’s where I was drafted. I’ve got some good guys around me – Philip Rivers (Antonio) Gates, Ryan Mathews. It would be a great place for me to stay, so we’ll see if that works out.” Jackson, who earned $11.4 million this past season as the team’s franchise player, said he’d prefer to avoid the tag again. “That’s something that’s out of my control,” he said. “I can’t concern myself with how that goes. I’d love to have a long-term deal just to have security of where you’re going to be for a while. That’s a decision that they have to make.”
