ESPN's Adam Schefter has identified the three teams who have debated acquiring wide receiver Vincent Jackson from the San Diego Chargers:

1. Seattle Seahawks
2. Washington Redskins
3. Chicago Bears

Unless the price to acquire, not to mention pay Jackson drops considerably, I'd be surprised if the Seahawks are serious players for the 6-5, 230-pound receiver. If Seahawks general manager John Schneider were willing to pay the freight--believed to be two 2nd round picks or a 1st round pick--and hand out a nearly $50 million dollar contract for a talented, but troubled wide receiver, Brandon Marshall would be a Seahawk today.

Jackson is unquestionably talented, but with two DUIs, he'd be a risky acquisition.

Besides, Seattle has big money invested in T.J. Houshmandzadeh, used a second-round pick on Golden Tate, have a young receiver Deon Butler and are implementing an offense that will feature more 2-TE sets, which will involve flexing John Carlson off the line of scrimmage as a key target in the passing game.

Cost is a major reason why the Chicago Bears are unlikely to pursue Jackson, writes Sean Jensen of the Chicago Sun-Times.

Though he's taken to referring to Jackson in the past tense, I'm nowhere near convinced that Chargers general manager A.J. Smith is interested in moving Jackson. Had he been at all interested in that, he would not have placed the "First- and Third-Round" restricted free agent tender on Jackson, which was a ring of fire that no other NFL front office was ever going to cross in March or April. (The Denver Broncos placed the "First Round" tender on Marshall, indicating their willingness to make a deal.)

Having media outlets in Seattle, Chicago, or Washington echoing the same sentiment--we like the player, but he's too expensive--could very well help Smith negotiate a team-friendly long-term extension with Jackson.
