JC Jackson: Out for the Season - Arrested

[Lone Bolt]

"Dead beat dad" implies that one of our Chargers is lacking in good moral fibre.

My reliable source is a fan who had a two hour convo with JC at Starbucks, after he got his big Charger contract.

Baby mama is doing JC dirty.

The lawyers have got this.

Still waiting to hear specifics....but my guess is he was not happy with a ruling, got angry and expressive in the court room, maybe dropped a few f-bombs, and a no nonsense judge slapped a contempt of court on him...it's common when there are heated exchanges in family court, especially if the judge is a ball breaker.

But on JC....I don't miss him. Not that I don't like him, or don't have hopes that he will turn it around...but the way Mike Davis has come on, and Leonard had a great camp, and Jasir is looking very promising...hell, if we ate some of his salary, could we get a good trade done, that would ultimately help us capwise, and give us a decent pick?

Some of you rule guys....is there a portion of the salary that can't be traded away, even if the other team is willing? Like maybe signing bonus that is pro rated? Or is it entirely up to the two trade partners on who assumes contract, and how much? Just curious...

Again, I don't have anything against the guy, and feel there is a good chance he can bounce back...but a good trade deal might net pick(s) and cap relief...and our secondary really isn't too shabby without him...

There is just too many variables, most with huge ramifications.

Herbert. Bosa.
$17 million cap hit.

It will be interesting.

Their is no market for JC and the contract he carries; along with his injury. TT screwed up. I would release him and move on. You can't keep a problem player just to avoid a cap hit. The chargers are too close to being a good/great team.

Agreed. Plus, we don't even know if he CAN come back from the type of injury he sustained. Best case scenario has him back on the field no earlier than July, so he's already going to start '23 behind the 8-ball. And it's not like he was playing lights out until he got injured. Hell, he even got benched and never really fit in.

I'll wait to hear more specifics before burying the guy.

Problem player? Lol, wow he already has a tag.

That's what logical people do.

If JCJ turns out to be a bust, whether on or off the field, the Bolts DO have an OUT in his contract...but they'll have to wait until the end of the 2024 season...ouch...a bitter pill to swallow...

As soon as he was released, mr.int made a post on Instagram.

It was his own mug shot and
SHE TRYN PLAY ME

Did I not give TPB enough of a heads up on the 19th ?

Sure; but I doubt he was arrested for doing charity work.

What we do know is it was a non violent family incident. Think I'd wait til more info comes out to give him a label of problem player. He hasn't been a problem player in his career or he wouldn't be here.

Yeah, it sounds kind of weird and maybe non-problematic. Need to know more.

I’ll also wait to see him play more before cutting him, too. He didn’t play well in his start here, agree. Its a small sample size, he seemed to not have a grasp on the scheme and was thinking more than naturally playing/reacting. but he played much better over a longer stretch in NE. I understand folks are disappointed, we thought we bought a #1 lockdown corner and he didn’t produce immediately.

Staley has been dialing up more press cover recently than he did at the beginning of the year. That approach seems better suited to what JCJ did well in NE - maybe he’ll play better next year. I think the rush to ride a guy’s back around here at times is premature.
