Even with the ongoing debates raging between the owners and the NFLPA over the new collective bargaining agreement, teams are moving forward as usual.  One way the Chargers are going on with business is speculating about potentially franchising Vincent Jackson for the second consecutive season.  Though the Chargers were unwilling to bend and before last season about Jackson’s contract, he clearly is a player that the Chargers would love to have on the team again in 2011, even if that means slapping him with the franchise tag once again and potentially screwing up their chances of signing him long-term.

But even if they do exactly that, it still might not even matter due to the negotiations still taking place.  Both the owners and NFLPA are staying strong in their arguments and it’s not looking good for a new collective bargaining agreement to get underway any time soon.  Right now, they are very divided over the amount to split revenue and also about the 18-game schedule, which the owners are looking to implement but the players are hesitant to sign on for.  In short, no matter what the Chargers do their franchise won’t matter if a new CBA changes the rules.  Still, even with their differences, both sides want to see football in 2011.
