The simmering contract situations surrounding Chargers wide receiver Vincent Jackson and left tackle Marcus McNeill look ready to boil.
We mentioned a report from Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune earlier this week that both players that the players are prepared to sit out into training camp and beyond. ESPN’s Adam Schefter writes that is precisely their plan.
Both players do not plan to report for the start of training camp and Jackson especially appears to be readying for a long holdout that could extend into the season. We heard McNeill may sign his tender before holding out, but Schefter writes that both players plan to stay unsigned for a long time.
We don’t doubt the serious intent of both players, but this is typically tough talk for June. If we hit late August, and both players are still absent, then we’ll know they are serious.
