The Facts:
Considering all the Chargers have to do – pass rusher, strong safety, possibly replacing three starters on the offensive line, etc. – sources said this week that it is unlikely the team would place the franchise tag on Jackson again in 2012.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Union-Tribune staffer Kevin Acee made it clear the tag is an option, of course, should negotiations, which the team will likely initiate in February, yield no long-term deal. But paying one receiver more than $13 million for one year, especially with so many other players to secure, is unlikely. Meanwhile, Jackson recently suggested that remaining a Charger would suit him just fine -- especially if Norv Turner was retained.
