However, Mike Shanahan shot down the rumor pretty emphatically. Here's what he said when asked about it during his post-practice media session today, via 106.7 The Fan's Grant Paulsen.
Shanahan on Vincent Jackson: ''It's a rumor.'' When asked if he wants to put it to rest ... ''I just did I think.''
It's not like Shanahan was going to confirm the rumors, so stay tuned. However, that's about as noteworthy a putdown as it gets.
