Jackson...on the move or not???
- Thread starter Miller
- Start date
Well Jackson is still a Charger....and has started to serve his 3 weeks suspension. The Chargers also place him on the roster exempt list, the impact of this move is that he will not be eligible to play for 3 weeks after his return, meaning he is out for 6 weeks now and make the likely hood that he gets traded very slim.
Yesterday was D Day for Jackson and it didn't go well for those gambling that something would work out.

I believe it is not an extra 3 weeks. It is 3 weeks from when he signs or something. the suspensions can be served concurrently if he is signed somewhere. So, it would be the 1st 4 weeks now
No, not after the Chargers placed him on the exemption list. Due to that, he must be off for 3 weeks, and that can't start until he joins the team. Which he cannot do now since he is doing his suspension from the league. I posted this a while ago, I will have to see if I can find it again.

-- Vincent Jackson Trade Held Up by Roster Exemption --
Sun Sep 5, 2010 --from FFMastermind.com
Yahoo Sports' Jason Cole reports a roster exemption placed on WR Vincent Jackson last month is preventing the San Diego Chargers holdout from joining a new team. Jackson reached an agreement on a one-year deal with an undisclosed team before his 6 p.m. deadline to join the Chargers on Saturday night, according to two sources close to the situation. However, the undisclosed team’s ability to agree on trade compensation with the Chargers and the possibility that Jackson would be forced to miss six games even if the Chargers trade him are holding up a potential swap. Under the roster exemption status designated by San Diego, Jackson would have to sit at least the first six games of the season: three because he violated the league’s substance abuse policy (Jackson has two convictions for driving under the influence of alcohol) and the first three once he joins the Chargers. NFL Players Association attorney Richard Berthelsen argues that the roster exempt status applies only to the Chargers and said the union is willing to take the matter to expedited arbitration. “Our position on this is that the rights of the procedure only apply to that club that gave him the [roster exemption] notice,” Berthelsen said. “If you read that part of the CBA, it clearly says ‘the club.’ If the player is not with ‘the club’ by the second preseason game, he must miss the first game of the season … it does not include a club that he is traded to.” League spokesman Greg Aiello said the rule applies to wherever Jackson plays this season.Sun Sep 5, 2010 --from FFMastermind.com
