The San Diego Chargers rookie running back Ryan Mathews has been determined to impress team officials by performing as well as he could. He recently told reporters that he would take part in the training camp in time on July 15, when all rookies is required to report for the camp.
“My main thing is to get into camp as soon as possible,” Mathews said. “I’ve talked to my agent; I need to be there. Too many guys hold out for all the wrong reasons and I’m not going to be one of them.”
The first-round draft pick from Fresno State is expected to improve the team’s offensive line. But Mathews sounds a bit more outspoken than other rookies, as no one would expect a rookie to skip training camp, it’s really no necessary for him to pledge to take care of his own business in time. It’s not a good way to attract attention at all unless he announced that he would put on a Michael Irvin jersey to appear for the Chargers’ camp to show his support for another team.

Chargers WR Jackson is likely to be traded
The San Diego Chargers will not hesitate to trade unhappy wide receiver Vincent Jackson if he really carries out his plan to skip the whole 2010 NFL regular season in dissatisfaction with not receiving a long-term contract. Or, the team may start trade talks even before the player carries out the plan.
According to reports, the Chargers have been reached by several teams with interests in Jackson. The buyers unsurprisingly include the Seattle Seahawks and surprisingly also include the Minnesota Vikings. Remaining a restricted free agent, Jackson does not seem to like the idea of playing football in Vikings jersey with a group of big-name receivers. He is in hope for a considerable long-term deal matching his starting role, not a backup role in an elite team. By comparison, the Seahawks have always been looking for qualified starting receiver. They previously contacted Brandon Marshall for possible cooperation but Marshall finally was traded to the Miami Dolphins. Now for the second chance to get a great wide receiver, the Seahawks could make a bigger offer to allure Jackson and so they are likely to give Jackson what he wants.
The Chargers will still have a big group of wide receivers even after Jackson is traded away. Whether the remaining receivers are as great as Jackson, their obedience will at least make it easier to run the team.
