Jackson's options down to two
NFL executives believe the team that is most interested in San Diego Chargers wide receiver Vincent Jackson is the Minnesota Vikings. But it might be tough for the Vikings to give Jackson the lucrative long-term deal he wants, especially considering that they declined to sign players such as wide receiver Sidney Rice, defensive end Ray Edwards and linebacker Chad Greenway to extensions. One possible outcome would be the Vikings agreeing to a one-year deal with Jackson, who would have to recognize that a one-year deal in Minnesota is better than not playing this season at all.
To see who else has shown interest in Jackson, plus the rest of Adam Schefter's Sunday notes, including topics like Michael Vick's starter incentives, why Patriots fans should root for the Rams this week and why Bob Sanders may have played his final down for the Colts, you must be an ESPN Insider.
