Jackson designated Chargers’ Franchise Player

Written by Administrator | 15 February 2011

San Diego Chargers wide receiver Vincent Jackson has been designated the team’s Franchise Player.

Jackson, 28, was designated a “non-exclusive” Franchise Player, which means that he can negotiate with other teams. Should he receive an offer from another team, the Chargers can either match the new club’s offer or receive two first-round draft choices as compensation. In addition, the Chargers and Jackson may negotiate a long-term contract.

“Vincent has been a valuable contributor to our team,” said General Manager A.J. Smith. “We want him to be a Charger.”

Jackson will receive a one-year tender at the average of the top five salaries among receivers last year.

The last player to be designated the team’s Franchise Player was running back-kick returner Darren Sproles in 2009.

Quarterback Philip Rivers, tight end Antonio Gates and left guard Kris Dielman were voted by the NFL coaches, players and fans to the AFC Pro Bowl squad, the NFL announced today. Gates and Dielman were selected as starters. The 2011 Pro Bowl will be played on Sunday, January 30, 2011 at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Rivers, Gates and Dielman are all part of an offense that’s ranked second in the NFL in total offense at 392.1 yards per game and fourth in scoring at 27.2 points per game.

Gates made his seventh-consecutive Pro Bowl despite missing five games with a torn right plantar fascia that occurred during a Week 6 game at St. Louis and left him with acute pain for the remainder of the season. He appeared poised for a second consecutive 1,000-yard season before the injury and was on pace to break his own NFL record for touchdowns by a tight end. Through Week 7, he caught 35 passes for 540 yards and eight touchdowns, and he will finish the season with 50 catches and a team-high 782 yards and 10 touchdowns.
