The three franchised players without long-term deals -- Baltimore Ravens defensive tackle Haloti Ngata, San Diego Chargers receiver Vincent Jackson and Miami Dolphins defensive tackle Paul Soliai -- are not expected to sign long-term extensions by Tuesday's deadline, according to sources. If teams don't sign their franchised players to long-term extensions by Tuesday they have to wait until the offseason. Ngata and the Ravens have not talked contract in close to a month, and a deal is not expected by the deadline. There's no acrimony but, for now, the two sides have agreed to disagree over a player that has become one of the most dominant defenders in the game. Jackson and the Chargers have not discussed a contract extension at all, meaning San Diego either will have to franchise him again this offseason or face losing him in free agency. Source: ESPN.com
