The Chargers reportedly want a second-round pick and a third-round pick for Jackson.
The Vikings have offered a second-round pick plus a conditional pick based on whether they can parlay a one-year deal with the player into a long-term deal.
Per Cole, the Chargers base their demands on the fact that the Broncos got two second-round picks for receiver Brandon Marshall.
But, as Cole points out, the Dolphins also signed Marshall to a multi-year deal at the time the trade went down.
The Vikings reportedly have a one-year, $6 million deal in place with Jackson.
There's reportedly another team in the mix, which is willing to sign Jackson to a long-term deal.
Cole also explains that Jackson has a potential weapon to employ against the Chargers' apparent fallback plan of squatting on Jackson's rights all year, letting him leave as an unrestricted free agent, and collecting a third-round compensatory draft pick in 2012.
If Jackson's free-agent deal in 2011 is structured with low first-year compensation, the Chargers would face the reality of collecting a lower compensatory pick.
