Chargers WR Vincent Jackson Seeking A Loophole In Arbitration?

The NFL and NFL Players Association will have an arbitration hearing next Thursday to argue over whether wide receiver Vincent Jackson is subject to being kept on a three-game roster exemption list even if he is traded by the San Diego Chargers to another team and the ruling is expected to have a significant impact on whether Jackson gets traded. NFLPA attorney Richard Berthelsen said the hearing would be held in Manhattan in front of arbitrator Rosemary Townley, who will then have up to five working days to render a decision but it's expected that Townley will rule faster, perhaps as early as the next day. Jackson, who is hoping for a long-term deal after refusing to sign a one-year tender as a restricted free agent with San Diego, has been suspended for the first three games of the season for violating the substance abuse policy. If and when he returns to the Chargers, he then would miss three games because the Chargers placed him on the roster exempt list. However, the NFLPA has argued that the roster exempt status only applies if Jackson remains with the Chargers and the union believes that any team acquiring Jackson in trade would not have to have him sit an additional three weeks.

He refused to sign his tender! What's stopping any other player from doing the same thing? This is total BS! These players need to be reined in and stopped from thinking they can do whatever they want to do.
