Chargers WR Vincent Jackson Demands Retraction From Newspaper

The contract dispute between wide receiver Vincent Jackson and the San Diego Chargers took an odd sidestep when high-profile attorney Howard Weitzman sent a letter to the San Diego Union-Tribune demanding a retraction of a portion of a recent story about Jackson. In the letter sent Monday, Weitzman said a paragraph in the article, reported by Union-Tribune Chargers beat writer Kevin Acee, was both incorrect and damaging to Jackson and agents Neil Schwartz and Jonathan Feinsod. "We are asking for a retraction, a correction and an apology for part of the article," said Weitzman. The Union-Tribune reported that Jackson was able to sit out rather than sign a restricted free-agent tender for this season because of the financial backing of Schwartz and Feinsod. "League and sources in the agent community have confirmed that his ability to forego a salary is due to the financial backing of Schwartz and Feinsod, with the understanding the agents will be paid back after Jackson receives the mega contract they are seeking," Acee wrote on Aug. 24. Jackson is already dealing with the fact that he has two driving-under-the-influence charges against him and is facing a three-game suspension whenever he returns to play. Weitzman said the Union-Tribune article adds another problem for Jackson, one that could make teams wary to sign him to a long-term contract. "This infers that [Jackson] can't manage his affairs and that he's financially needy," Weitzman said. "That's anything but the case. Vincent has been very successful dealing with his finances."
