Vincent Jackson's agent, Neil Schwartz, said Wednesday he isn't sure the San Diego Chargers really want to trade his client, despite granting the Seattle Seahawks permission to negotiate a deal with the Pro Bowl wide receiver. Schwartz reiterated that he has been granted permission to talk to only one team, the Seahawks, and league sources continue to say there hasn't been any progress and nothing is imminent. Schwartz said after news broke that the Chargers granted the Seahawks permission to speak with Jackson last week, other NFL teams assumed the receiver was free to talk to anyone, as would normally be the case. "After the initial story came out, I got calls from four or five other teams asking about Vincent," Schwartz said, "but I told them I didn't have permission to talk to them about that player and they had to call San Diego." Schwartz said he called Chargers vice president Ed McGuire seeking clarity on Jackson's status and asked permission "to try to facilitate a trade." Schwartz said McGuire declined and said the agent could only speak with the Seahawks and added there were certain teams to which the Chargers wouldn't deal Jackson. Source: Jason La Canfora, NFL.com
he's got it a bit backwards, no team wants to trade a high draft pick for the right to overpay a guy who has to come in and learn a new offense.
