09:07 AM ET 08.14 | On the same day the Chargers welcomed back Shawne Merriman, it has been learned they have made an effort to spark movement with their other two restricted free agents -- with a typically heavy hand and with no promise of results. League sources said Friday that Vincent Jackson and Marcus McNeill have received letters informing them of the Chargers' intentions to place them on the Roster Exempt List if they do not sign their tenders by Aug. 20.

Rivers needs Jackson, but if McNeill keeps goofing around, Rivers is totally screwed.

On their tales? That's an interesting way of putting it. It's Saturday, maybe I'll go out tonight and get some tale.

If Jackson and McNeill want their money they need to get to camp, holding out proves nothing, other than you're actually dumb enough to do it.

Jackson especially. He's already losing four game checks.

Exactly, if he's smart, he's not going to want to play for free this year.

Especially against 'Never Give In' A.J. Smith. He will blow up the team just to show that he's in charge.

If he ever fires Norv, he should hire McDaniels, another demolitions expert.

I'm starting to get the impression you don't like McDaniels.

So, all they need to do is show up by week 8 and they will get credit for a full season. So do it.
They saw how the Chargers treated L.Tomlinson the last two years. The guy was the face of the team for years and then they ask him to take a cut in salary or they would release him. The he## with the contract they agreed to.
You better believe the other guys in that locker room took notice.

Cheers AJ, way to protect the Rivers investment! He'll have fun getting sacked without McNeill! Always seems like it's more about Smith being right that making the right decisions for the organization.

Without a doubt. Other non-Chargers players noticed as well. Players are an expendable commodity. The only given is that the owners will reap the financial rewards, year after year after year. Kinda like organized crime.
