Other fish in sea is what makes VJ a likely castoff

Several good (and cheaper) receivers available in free agency means Jackson expendable.

Acee attempted the double cunt butthole lick windmill dunk! Incredible!

I'm a believer that an offensive and defensive line are the most important things on a team. A new receiver can practically be BUILT through good solid protection that gives the offense, especially an elite QB, time to scan the field and read the defense.

I expect him to be gone. That said, there had better be somebody along the lines of the guys mentioned in the article that, IF he leaves, will replace him. Anything else is just plain unacceptable. This receiving corps, without Jackson, is a joke and Rivers deserves better than Malcom Floyd as a primary target...

If VJ goes I feel bad mojo heading our way next season unless AJ does the unexpected (like that's gonna happen)

I'd take Lloyd because of his penchant for the spectacular.

I'd take Colston as a game-breaking big target like the one we're losing.

I'd take DeSean, because he immediately pulls a safety out of the box due to speed and upgrades our return game, but his durability is for squat.

Welker isn't going anywhere. Wayne is past his prime. Bowe is inconsistent, but should cost about as much as VJ due to his age and potential. Meachum and Manningham are just lesser receivers.

Why don't we just keep the guy we have and pick up some speed in the draft while we develop Brown?

Nothing out there is that much better than the guy we have and there's no learning curve or waiting for chemistry.

I think everyone agrees with you. Most are trying to wrap their heads around the likelihood that he will leave and which idiot will be at fault: VJ or Adolph Smith...

I can't be mad at VJ. He's been trying to get his money for a couple seasons now and the team decided to play silly games instead of just putting a clause into his contract that he has to hire a driver!

There is no shortage of folks that will gladly take him wherever he wants to go for $25,000-$30,000 a year and make sure nothing happens to him.

Id like to have Dwayne Bowe if we cant have VJ.

What a fucking lazy article:

Vincent Jackson (SD) - Partially due to his actions and injuries in the past, the Chargers have been reluctant to sign Vincent Jackson to a long-term extension. However, after a third 1000-yard season with the Chargers, GM AJ Smith and Head Coach Norv Turner have expressed interest in keeping Jackson in San Diego for the long haul. If the Chargers don't have him locked up prior to the start of free agency, he may very easily leave on a tempting offer elsewhere.
Wes Welker (NE) - Welker has averaged 111 receptions and 1221 yards over the last 5 seasons, since joining New England. It's safe to call Welker the best slot receiver in the league and one of the most valuable pieces to the Patriots' offense. During Super Bowl week he brushed off questions regarding his impending free agency, but it's a foregone conclusion that he'll remain in Foxborough.
Reggie Wayne (IND) - After missing the 1000-yard mark for the first time since 2003, Wayne finds himself a free agent. All of the talk out of Indy has been on Peyton Manning and his costly option The Colts have been an organization takes care of their own over the last decade, but for a team expected to enter rebuilding, it'll be interesting to see if that philosophy changes for in the transition. Many expect Wayne to be playing elsewhere next season.
DeSean Jackson (PHI) - Jackson is a great weapon for the Eagles offense that relies upon big plays. Unfortunately, Jackson's ego and sense of self-worth appears to have created a rift in negotiations thus far. Jackson will probably want to be paid as a top wide receiver, which he may not get from the organization after some his comments and actions of several months ago. To be fair, his play doesn't warrant it either.
Dwayne Bowe (KC) - One subpar season aside, Dwayne Bowe has emerged into the number one receiver the offense needs. He's a big body and a good route runner with a large catching radius. His most impressive attribute is his body of work around the goal line. He's a complete mismatch with the fade, slant, and back shoulder passes and has shown the propensity to make the acrobatic catches on numerous occasions. If he can't be re-signed prior to free agency, he's probably the frontrunner ahead of Brandon Carr for the franchise tag.
Marques Colston (NO) - When healthy, Colston is a match-up nightmare for any corner. He's an incredibly physical, sure-handed receiver and a polished route runner. When he's available, he brings another dimension to the Saints offense that none of their other talented weapons possess. Though Brees has proven capable of running the offense without him, they're even more dangerous with him. He'll most likely remain with the Saints.
Steve Johnson (BUF) - Still working on his meager rookie salary, Johnson figures to be a big part of the Bills' long term plans. On a team with few superstars, the Bills can afford to lock up Johnson long term and maintain an effective passing attack. Though the sides don't appear to have begun extension talks, the Bills also have the option of using the franchise tag on him if they can't reach a deal before free agency.
Brandon Lloyd (STL) - Lloyd quickly established himself as the Rams' top receiver after a trade landed him in St. Louis midway through the year. His explosive downfield ability and large catching radius make him a legitimate target to help Sam Bradford. The Rams will make a strong play to retain him and Lloyd has expressed interest in playing for coach Jeff Fisher.
Robert Meachem (NO) - Meachem is one of the younger receivers that could be a nice pick-up for an offense with a larger workload to offer. He's a good downfield threat and has nice instincts in the red zone. For a team with Drew Brees, Marques Colston, and Carl Nicks as free agents, the organization has some work to do to bring back all of their key guys.
Mario Manningham (NYG) - With Manningham behind breakout star Victor Cruz and Hakeem Nicks, the Giants have found a nice threesome. Though the Giants have done a great job of developing players at the position, they would like to see some continuity for Manning. Unfortunately for them, other teams may look to give Manningham a promotion into the starting lineup and a bigger contract that goes along with it.
Laurent Robinson (DAL) - After spending some time in Atlanta, St. Louis, and San Diego, it didn't take Robinson a lot of time to find chemistry with Tony Romo in Dallas in his fifth year as a pro. He exploded on the scene replacing and playing behind Dez Bryant and Miles Austin in the lineup at various points throughout the season, accumulating 858 yards and 11 touchdowns in 14 games. Though Robinson has reaffirmed that he wants to remain in Dallas, it may be hard for the Cowboys to pay him as a third receiver if he receives serious attention on the open market.
