Top 12 reasons why the Chargers didn't trade Vincent Jackson

Despite a wildly protracted holdout and the pleas of millions of Charger fans, fantasy football players and the fans of possible trade partner teams, not to mention the increased amount of suspension for staying put, the Chargers refused to move malcontent #1 WR Vincent Jackson by the deadline, when his value is presumed to be higher. FTT, as always, has the real reasons why.

12) Malcolm Floyd and Legedu Naanee haven't disappointed enough fantasy football owners yet

11) The team didn't really feel much pressure to make a deal, since their fans are incapable of staying upset for more than ten minutes

10) It's all an elaborate stunt by Charger GM A.J. "Lord Of No Rings" Smith for a reality television prank show

9) It's very, very important to prove to the rest of the roster that money is more important than wins, and that All-Pro production will not get you any additional consideration

8) When you play in the AFC West, you really don't need all of your weapons, or a majority of your limbs, to win the division

7) The Redskins refused to give up three Mike Shanahan 1,000 Yard Rushers From Nowhere to be created later

6) Having a very good deep threat was undermining everyone's appreciation for Norv Turner's genius

5) Minnesota refused to throw in extra picks and a year's supply of Wizzinators

4) As the first two games have shown, the Chargers have no flaws or areas to upgrade

3) Just couldn't be without his smiling face in the locker room, and want to personally supervise those extra three games of suspension that he'll receive for remaining a Charger

2) In addition to high draft picks, the Seahawks refused to throw in Ichiro, the Space Needle, and their secret special coffee that gave owner Paul Allen cancer, thereby allowing them to actually make trade offers in the first place

1) By denying access to his biggest weapon, the Chargers are looking to give QB Phillip Rivers more of a chance to show off his calm under fire leadership skills
