The 27-year-old Jackson was a restricted free agent heading into the 2010 offseason, but balked at the initial $3.268 million tender offered by San Diego in hopes of securing a more lucrative, long-term deal. That offer eventually reduced to $583,000 -- 110 percent of what Jackson made in 2009.
Jackson finally signed the smaller contract Friday, though he'll make only a little more than $171,000 on the season. He's ineligible to play for San Diego's next three games because of a team-issued suspension, stemming from the Chargers having to place Jackson on the roster-exempt list during his holdout -- he will be eligible to play again on Nov. 28, when San Diego hosts Indianapolis in a Sunday night game.
