SAN DIEGO – The Chargers designated receiver 
Jackson, 28, was designated as a “non-exclusive” Franchise Player, which means that he can negotiate with other teams. Should he receive an offer from another team, the Chargers can either match the new club’s offer or receive two first-round draft choices as compensation. In addition, the Chargers and Jackson may negotiate a long-term contract.
“Vincent has been a valuable contributor to our team,” General Manager A.J. Smith said. “We want him to be a Charger.”
The last player to be designated the team’s Franchise Player was running back/kick returner
Jackson will receive a one-year tender at the average of the top five salaries among receivers last year.
