The Facts:
After San Diego's front office sent Pro Bowl left tackle Marcus McNeill and Jackson letters informing them that their salaries would be cut if they didn't sign their tenders by next week, the players have plotted out a game plan of their own. Not only will McNeill and Jackson not sign the current or reduced tender, they do not plan to report for the start of training camp and quite possibly well beyond, according to league sources.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, each player wants a long-term deal befitting the salaries of some of the top players at the position. Neither plans to sign his tender anytime soon.Earlier this week, San Diego's front office sent the players letters warning them that if they did not sign their restricted free agent tenders by June 15, McNeill's salary would be slashed from $3.168 million to $583,000 and Jackson's salary would be dropped from $3.268 million to $600,000. ... Jackson has had two straight seasons in which he has had over 1,000 receiving yards and has led the league in each of those years in average yards per catch making his situation of great interest to Fantasy owners. Stay tuned.
