The Facts:
More than 50 players were at Chargers Park yesterday for the first day the entire squad was asked to report for voluntary organized conditioning sessions. As expected, the four restricted free agents who have yet to sign their first-and-third tenders did not attend yesterday. Malcom Floyd, Vincent Jackson, Marcus McNeill and Shawne Merriman are sitting out indefinitely, displeased with the one-year, nonguaranteed contracts tendered to them as restricted free agents.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
According to Union-Tribune staffer Kevin Acee, it is possible that their holdouts, which the team expected and is so far understanding of, could last into training camp. At that point, Acee suggests it could get interesting, considering Chargers GM A.J. Smith has a history of not tolerating similar stances. The Chargers will begin their offseason coaching sessions (also voluntary) on May 18 and hold minicamp May 26-28. The coaching sessions will continue into mid-June before the players take a month off. Rookies report for training camp on July 25, veterans four days later.
