Potential Vincent Jackson Trade Going Down to the Wire

Filed under: Chargers, VikingsThe Chargers and the Vikings were in serious discussions Tuesday on a deal that would send disgruntled star receiver Vincent Jackson from San Diego to Minnesota. But sources with knowledge of the talks said there were still significant differences to be made up if a deal was to get done before an important 4 p.m. ET Wednesday deadline.

Per a settlement between the NFL and the players' union, Jackson must be traded before 4 p.m. Wednesday in order to have his current suspension reduced from six games to four games. He's already sat out two of three required games on his personal conduct policy suspension. But if he is not traded by the deadline, he'll have to serve an additional three games as a result of the Chargers placing him on the roster exempt list because of his contract holdout. If he is traded, that suspension drops from three games to one game and Jackson would be eligible to play in the fifth game of his new team's season.
