With Vincent Jackson just having a big game against the Niners, I had to ask myself if that was enough convince the chargers to keep him, and with Malcom Floyd and Legedu Naane also staring at free agency, it makes the WR position extremely intriguing in terms of speculation of who stays and goes:
We know:
Free agents to be:
Vincent Jackson
Malcom Floyd
Probably will be here:
Draft possibilities:
Jonathan Baldwin
Julio Jones
Austin Pettis (not in the first round, but scheme fit)
Leonard Hankerson (see above)
Trade possibility:
Final Projection
Malcom Floyd: Injuries are a concern, but they will also keep the cost down
Patrick Crayton
Seyi Ajirotutu
Legedu Naanee or first/second round receiver
Kelley Washington (two skills keep him in roster, good slot receiver and special teams player)
Final thoughts: I would keep Vincent Jackson I just don't see AJ Smith keeping him too much bad blood, Floyd his injuries cost him millions and keep him under the radar and in the chargers roster. Naanee is 50-50 for me, I wouldn't be surprised to see Jonathan Baldwin as the chargers first rounder, and that would cost Naanee a spot on this roster. I would love Fitzgerald on the chargers, but the chargers history says, there will other teams willing to offer more in a trade.
