2012 NFL Free Agents: St. Louis Rams Expected To Pursue WR Vincent Jackson
by Ryan Van Bibber on Feb 3, 2012 3:54 PM CST
Email
PrintThis ought to be music to Sam Bradford's ears. According to Jason LaCanfora of the NFL Network, the St. Louis Rams are expected to be in the bidding for San Diego Chargers wide receiver Vincent Jackson.
Naturally, the Rams will not be the only team involved in the bidding, assuming the Chargers let him slip away in free agency. LaCanfora also suggests the San Francisco 49ers as a possibility. The Bills have been mentioned in the past as a possible suitor.
Jackson played with the Chargers last year under the franchise tag. San Diego could slap him with the tag again, but the Chargers have said that they will not. Jackson's current team did indicate that they would be willing to sign him to a long-term deal.
This isn't the first time that Jackson, 29, and the Rams have danced. In 2010, the Rams reportedly had agreed to a contract with Jackson. Chargers GM A.J. Smith wanted too a high of a price in a trade, said to be two second-round picks.
Jackson caught 60 passes for 1,106 yards and nine touchdowns last season. Obviously, Jackson would be a major upgrade to the Rams offense. There is the little matter of his legal troubles, but Fisher has, in the past, been willing to take a chance of risky players.
If the Rams are willing to consider Jackson, they could be willing to kick the tires on other free agent wide receivers. Doing so would dramatically change their plans in the first-round of the 2012 NFL Draft.

The entire SB Nation blogosphere has a pretty loose and fast policy on cursing.
Overuse and completely offensive words are dealt with by the authors and admins.
If the occasional harsh word offends you, my only honest advice is “get used to it”.

if the rams somehow hold onto Lloyd?
and grab vjax? DAAAAAMN! with salas, amendola, and pettis? that has the makings of a green bay like offense to me.
When you added pettis it kinda brought it down but... YEAH!

Pettis support....
(Besides the “biased” tunnel vision reporters we have here in St Louis) To everyone who can “use” their brain for what god gave it to them for, are you SERIOUSLY bagging on Pettis like this !!!! I watched Young & Pettis in college and they both did things that their perspective NFL teams WRs didn’t do. Young strecthed the field, and Pettis was all over the Field (mianly clutch situations & REDZONE). And our awesome RedZone OFFENSE the past 2yrs and especially This YearWAs PATHETIC. Maybe we SHOULD’Ve tried Pettis ( Oh no we liked what we were doing, NOT SCORING). So if we had at least tried it (and it failed) we still would not have been any worse off than we already were. If what you’re doing is not working “SMART” people tend to CHANGE and TRY somethuing else (HELLO SAM, HELLO RAMS COACHES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) Detroits COACHING STAFF was smarter than ours (and Maybe their QB is too). They used Young, we abused Pettis ( through not using him & media HATE)….I hope FISHER is smarter than the last RAMS coaching staff AND you bonehead Fans…..If FISHER puts the WRs on an “even” playing field and Pettis comes out and Shuts the Ram HaterNation up by being a BALLER, it would look pretty STUPID of all you Bad Mouthing Fans and Biased Reporters to throw Praise his way (hint, hint - Danny Fells, Laurent Robinson, haha)…………Much Support for Pettis and Young from the Boise State BroncNation (don’t hate)

It's called PEDs
Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
The sad fact is that the kid made a huge mistake. He's paying his league penalty, and now he has to see what the Rams will do
If anyone is going to give the kid a shot at redemption, it will be Fisher. But I can’t blame him for cutting him if he needs the roster spot or payroll for a player who can play the entire season.
Was he stupid for taking PEDs? If you say no, then I just can’t respect you opinion.
I know kids make mistakes. Pettis’ rookie honeymoon is over, and now he’ll have to re-earn the respect of players, fans and coaches. What will be at the back of everyone’s mind is: How long has he been taking performance enhancing drugs?
Mistake/Forgiveness
Lets be honest Pettis just got caught IMO with professional sports there is such a fine line with PEDs. Who knows how many players are actually using PEDs if you really want to be picky everybody does. Personally I like Pettis and believe he has a lot of potential in the right system and under the right tutelage.
Just a man who loves football
I think the idea that all of 'em are on something is a complete fallacy
Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!
If we pull this off, maybe just keep the 2nd pick and get Kalil.

Agreed, trade down and stockpile the picks.
We can still nab a starting tackle like Rieff or Martin or even Mike Adams. Get the additional picks in the 2nd, 3rd or 4th rounds to get our new DT, OLB’s, OG and RB?

Like I was saying in the other thread, quality WRs frequently hit free agency.
If the Bolts really don’t franchise him, I’d take him in a heartbeat – as I would have for the past couple of years.
As a Chiefs fan, I vote yes.
And if you guys can keep Lloyd and sign Jackson, you’ll have one hell of an offense as long as Bradford doesn’t regress.

I mentioned VJax
months ago:
1. VJax
2. Lloyd (need to resign and unlikely can after this contract to sign VJax)
3. Danny A.
4. Blackmon (needs some games to get to NFL speed)
5. Salas
6. DX
7. compete for this spot BOYS!!!!

If we sign VJax and sign Lloyd we're not drafting Blackmon
Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
If we get him and Lloyd, take Kalil and Zach Brown/Jerel Worthy (will slip to the second)
….. Look out Peytinals and 40whiners

I would definitely approve of signing Jackson
he would add the “big play” element that the Rams have been so obviously lacking for the past several years.
That being said, Jackson is going to command a hefty paycheck, and I wonder if it is possible for the Rams to afford him before the cap situation improves after next season. Realistically, Demoff is going to have to pull off some cap wizardry and the Rams will need to renegotiate several contracts among current players to make this happen.
You cut Smith, now we have 19 million in cap space
So then if we sign VJax for even 8 million or 9 million we still have 10 million
Note to Douglas M: Remember that 99% of what I say involves BS
by King Sam Rules! on Feb 3, 2012 4:10 PM CST via mobile up reply actions
Even if we cut Smith outright the gain against the cap is only 2.5 million
so then our total available money is only 12.5 million. This is taking into account draft picks but no free agent signings. With this number fitting in Jackson will be quite difficult.
No way cutting Smith only gets you 2.5
And fine, make him take a pay cut to stay. Look, a guy who knows the cap can manipulate it

I was just about to comment about this
Is it even possible for the Rams to have both VJax and Lloyd with the cap space. Like you said, there’s going to have to be some major restructuring of current contracts
by mb44 on Feb 3, 2012 4:11 PM CST via mobile up reply actions
I don't think signing Lloyd and Jackson is possible
unless a ton of roster moves and renegotiations take place.
Agreed
At least with an interest, there are two options in Lloyd or Jackson the Rams can look into for their number 1 wideout. However, I’m concerned that if the Niners are in the mix, Jackson would go with them over the Rams unless the offer was substantially more on the Rams part

I don't see VJ going to SF.
He’s got an ego. He wasn’t want to play on a conservative offense WITH a noodle armed QB.
Alex Song - Krunk as Fuck!
True
He would definitely be THE guy here and get plenty of targets. Plus, the Chargers are on the decline and I’m sure he knows this. It seems to be mere speculation at this point. We’ll just have to wait and see what happens, but I’ll definitely take VJax in a heartbeat. Really opens up options for the draft

Signing VeeJAX takes the other ideas of Free Agency, no more Finegan, No more Jason Jones…etc.

You cut Smith, now we can sign VJax and maybe have more cap space still then we currently have
Still plenty we can do. Cap numbers really dont matter. People who know the cap can manipulate it to no end

Trade down to 4 still. Pick up Claiborne at 4 then Mike Adams or best available LT with the extra 1st round pick. then top of 2nd still go for best WR
by TimRamFan on Feb 3, 2012 4:19 PM CST via mobile reply actions
terrible
We don’t need another CB. Last year was a fluke of injuries. Even the Back-ups played well!
Trade with Washington is imminent and Rieff, Martin, and Adams will be ripe for the picking.
Damn Straight!!!
B. Lloyd, V. Jackson, D. Amendola, G. Salas and some burner somewhere in the draft should form a great nucleus. Hopefully, Ray Sherman can teach Kendricks how to catch.
They don't pay ray enough to be TE coach too.

Yes
but provided the price is right. There’s a number of big-name WRs hitting FA so I’d be happy if the Rams resign Lloyd and pick up either VJax, Wayne, DJax, Garcon, Manningham or Meacham
I believe Lloyd is a true #1 WR provided there is a valid threat on the other side that the D has to respect. Hell look what he accomplished last season! Thats why I’ve included Manningham, Meacham and Garcon in the list.
Signing any of those will allow the Rams to draft Kalil at #2 and cut Jason Smith
I'd love Garcon!
Wonder if him and Wayne might try to follow Peyton if he leaves though…

#1 WR ??????
Only if McD is coaching him or SAM (with his stare down) is throwing to him…Lloyd is all about “I” , “I” , “I”……oh you meant he only cares about #1 (himself), ooops my Bad …..we need a “we” atitude WR…bye bye Brandon…Hopefully your articles and interview should have sealed your trip outta StLouis….There are some #1’s out there but B lloyd is not it…Its easy to have a monster year on a team that’s aleays losing so the 2nd 7 3rd string defense is in (Denver) and when the QB & OC “only” throw to you (Rams)…….not a convincing #1 RESUME
BlkSprmn
The only reason Lloyd got thrown to so much last year is coz once Amendola got injured he was the only WR able to get open consistently. Ok he’s not in the same class as Andre Johnson or Megatron but he’s definately a #1 WR. If I were you I’d be less concerned with his attitude and more concerned with the lack of WR options apart from Lloyd currently on the roster. All the other WR’s apart from Pettis satisfy the “we” attitude you describe (which sounds suspiciously like the 4 pillars btw) and where did that get us last year?
I'd drop a 1 mile long turd if this happened
Still trade down if we get a good deal, but now it’s not so important to trade down.

it’s tough to place so much faith in Blackmon as he’s still unproven at NFL level. I’d much rather have a proven NFL talent for 3 seasons than take a risk to rely on a rookie as the #1 WR.
If it was possible to resign Lloyd and sign VJax, DJax, Wayne or Garcon then the Rams could draft Kalil #2 and go after a WR like Wright, Floyd or Jeffery at #33.
I’d be much more comfortable with the rookie WR having the comfort of developing behind 2 proven starters and be ready to become the #1 WR in 2-3 seasons
BRETT FAVRE!

Kinda off topic but....Don't forget about DX
Despite the fact that the coaching staff was coddling him for the majority of the season, the hammy, the horrible OL/QB play, he did a decent job this year….again all things considered. Besides B Lloyd, who else really stood out at the receiver position…….that made it thru the season? That being said, I’m all down for the possible acquisition of (fill in the blank with any top notch receiver), but with a full off-season and a good coach, i say don’t forget about DX. Imagine Vincent Jackson, Brandon Lloyd, Danny Amendola, Alshon Jeffery (because we picked Kalil at #2), DX, and Pettis/Salas as a receiver core, we could have a Green Bay type offense.
DX has needed to be cut since he got to Stl
He needs to retire and get a power chair for his bad knees.
Good thing is we won't HAVE to trust his knees.
If they’re good, then good. If they’re not, then it’ll be OK cause we have other WRs.

Sorry if this has been mentioned before, I went past a few comments but...
If we were to sign, VJAX, would Brandon Lloyd even want to stay here? He’s stated that he wants to be the primary option in an offense, and if Jackson comes, he’d likely be the 2nd option behind him. Right?
The team is so far away...yet so close...
maybe, maybe not
Jackson doesn’t catch a high volume of passes, I think Lloyd would be the more consistent target, with Jackson providing the big-play threat, and Amendola and Salas working underneath.

Signing Jackson shouldn't push Lloyd or anyone worth a shit out of town
If Lloyd doesn’t sign it’s because he doesn’t like the offer. How Jackson affects the offer Lloyd gets is as close to affecting Lloyds situation as this will get.
Wolf. Wolfgang Wolf
I don't think so...
Lloyd was reported saying he wanted us to pick up Blackmon so it could be man on man for the both of them.
Would be AWESOME!!!
But we also gotta resign Lloyd, or it’s a zero net gain.

but thats for another session
no charge
Guru of truth?
More like doomsayer who throws a bunch of shit at the wall hoping something sticks. As I recall you wanted Randy Moss and TO last offseason. Ya, that would have worked out real well “guru”. TO is playing part time in the goddamn arena league to try to pay off his child support and NOBODY else wanted anything to do with Moss, so there must have been something wrong there. Now, I will give you some credit on being about the only one who predicted all the doom and gloom correctly, although to be fair if we don’t have all those injuries we’re not nearly as horrific as we were.
Vincent has legal troubles, and plays when he wants to,
not always when he has to.
Next thing he’ll be wanting a raise.
Don’t see this happening again.
Go Rams!
Believe it when I see it.
Did not we go through the “Sproles” Crap last year . Mizklaz is correct. Chicken little’s.

this is a classic shotgun approach from Van. Trying to become a NFL writer
Through as much shit against a wall and if some sticks you can say"I told you SO" Disappointing NM

Van's just reporting what he reads.
He’s just giving us a heads up that there is a vague posibility that we could be looking at Vjax. Nowhere does he say this is for sure going to happen.
Actually, Van IS an NFL writer. He posts whenever news pops. We are damn lucky to have a guy who is relentless in his efforts to keep us informed

lol I don't understand
how anyone here wants to talk shit about Van.

I didn't like the negative slant he put on everything having to do with Spags during the season......
……but he IS tireless and puts up tons of stories that I love reading. Of course everyone knows that a lot of this stuff won’t come to fruition, but I don’t doubt for a second that we’re kicking the tires of a deal to get VJax. Keep writing Van.
Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is where the Stanley Cup can be found.

Jackson and Lloyd...
…this tandem should be a priority for the FO so we can get Kalil with our #2 pick unless there is an offer for our pick that we just cannot refuse. Add Amendola and Salas to the mix and we would have a very strong WR unit

It would be fun to see, but the Rams interest in Jackson may just be trick they are using while they negotiate with Lloyd?
Showing you have choices in negotiating… Holy Stan!
V JaX
Sign V JaX, draft Kalil, unless the trade is sweet enough to move down….then take Blackmon or DeCastro with our first pick….

Did I call it or what?! jswirb stopped by! and said the same thing I thought he would! How predictable...
Haikus are easy,
but sometimes they don't make sense.
Refrigerator.
Can u say offensive weapons??
Getting V. Jax would be great but in prior Fischer drafts, he picks defensive players.
I could be wrong but I thought he drafted fairly evenly with offence and defence.
I saw a link(not sure where) but it seemed like he goes one then the other then back to the first one.

...or back and forth from round to round
if that makes more since.

I love all the constuctive Rams ....

J Fisher will prove you wrong this year. I hope that everyone gets behind our new coaches unlike previous regimes !
