Found March 14, 2012 on Kissing Suzy Kolber: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Vincent Jackson
TEAMS: San Diego Chargers,  Washington Redskins
Denver_broncos_v_c638
What better way to spend your final days in San Diego than going to The House of Blues to see a reggae-rock outfit from Northern Virginia. That’s what Vincent Jackson believes. Probably same deal with the rest of the trustifarian populace. That band, SOJA (that’s “Soldiers of Jah Army” for the bumbaclots), being from the D.C. area, decided to advocate on behalf of their hometown team, the Washington Redskins, by pleading on stage for V-Jax to sign with the ‘Skins in front of a crowd of Chargers fans. Yeah, that’s pretty obnoxious, but then what do you expect out of this dude: And now you know that Jackson didn’t just sign with the Buccaneers because they put a bunch of 5s on his contract.

Bucs sign WR Vincent Jackson for 5 years

Via Fox Sports  |  March 13, 2012
Free agent wide receiver Vincent Jackson has signed a five-year, $55.55 million contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Jackson was one of the top wideouts available in free agency once San Diego decided not to give him the franchise tag. It didn't take him long to hook up with Tampa Bay and quarterback Josh Freeman, in whose honor Jackson got all those 5s in the deal; Freeman...

This ship sailed with Tampa Bay signing Vincent Jackson and the Redskins signing Pierre Garcon, obviously, but here’s video from Sunday of SOJA (Soldiers of Jah Army, bumbaclot) taking time out from their San Diego show to try and persuade V-Jax to come play for their hometown Redskins. RG3 references abound, as do some pretty amazing dreadlocks. Programming Note: I’m saying...

Washington Redskins could be off-season champs for the right reasons this year?

Via Deuce of Davenport  |  March 14, 2012
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers shelled out $56 million for a 5 year contract with $26 million of it is guaranteed for wide-receiver Vincent Jackson.  HUGE payday for the 29 year old wideout and thankfully for Washington Redskins fans, it was not their favorite team that shelled out that kind of money to just one player. Most people thought it was surprising that the Washington Redskins...

Bears like Stephen Hill at 19

Via The Extra Point  |  March 12, 2012

Merriman Tweets Vincent Jackson; Bills Fans All A-Twitter

Via Football Nation  |  March 13, 2012
Okay, Shawne, maybe Buffalo should keep you. Yesterday, Bills oft-injured linebacker (and future 4-3 defensive end) Shawne Merriman showed he may have some worth to the success of Buffalo, whether or not he plays another down on the field. Though he's spent two years with the Bills, Merriman has played in exactly five games in the red and blue, all of them in 2011. He's...

Will Vincent Jackson, Cortland Finnegan Unite With Tampa Bay Buccaneers?

Via Gridiron Grit  |  March 13, 2012
Many in the media, along with the entire fan base has come down like a ton of bricks it seems over the years on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for not taking advantage of immense available cap space on the open market. Since 2003, the Buccaneers have either finished 3rd or been the bottom-dwellers of the NFC South seven times combined. The team has approximately a whopping $42.7 million...

DJ's Deal, and the Eagles become the Phillies

Via Five Tool Tool  |  March 15, 2012
So the football laundry did the deal with WR DeSean Jackson today, with a thoroughly sensible 5 year deal for $51 million that doesn't tie the club down too badly in event of injury or ineffectiveness, and gets him in under the gun. You can't argue that he's overpaid, given the insane cash thrown at Calvin Johnson, the better money thrown at Vincent Jackson, and the comparable...

San Diego Chargers not expected to be major players in NFL Free Agency

Via thepigskinreport.com  |  March 13, 2012
The NFL free agency period opens this afternoon at 4pm EST, but don’t expect the San Diego Chargers to be major players, chasing big name stars which become available today.

Meachem To Visit Buffalo

Via Fantasy Football Champs  |  March 13, 2012
Wide receiver Robert Meachem is slated to visit the Buffalo Bills, according to Howard Balzer of 101 Sports. Fantasy Spin: Meachem is not likely to return to New Orleans after Marques Colston agreed to a new $40M deal today, and the young vertical threat could make a fine backup plan if Buffalo is unable to land a higher-profile free agent receiver, such as Vincent Jackson.
