According to the San Diego Union-Tribune, Jackson expected the tag and plans to play for the more than $10 million it would guarantee him (assuming the franchise tag is part of a new CBA). ... The franchise tag is generally applied to a player a team wants but is either uncomfortable giving a long-term deal or cannot reach agreement with on a long-term deal. As Union-Tribune staffer Kevin Acee noted, the Jackson situation features a little of both. The Chargers value Jackson’s game-changing ability but are unwilling to pay him what he is seeking, a price that was $50 million over five years with $30 million guaranteed last year and is certain to rise. Jackson’s 2,888 yards led the Chargers from 2007-09. But he has been arrested twice since 2006 for driving under the influence. Jackson was suspended the first three games of 2010 for violating the league’s personal conduct policy and subsequently held out until Oct. 30. Jackson ended up playing in four games, catching 14 passes for 248 yards and three touchdowns, making $280,823 in the process.
