Patriots guard Logan Mankins and San Diego Chargers wide receiver Vincent Jackson were still looking to be be compensated for their part as plaintiffs in the Brady v. NFL case tonight, according to two reports.

Mike Freeman of cbssports.com reported Jackson and Mankins had dropped their request for unrestricted free agency but were still seeking $10 million to settle.

Jim Trotter of Sports Illustrated reported that in addition to the $320 million in lost benefits money the players lost in the uncapped year, Mankins and Jackson were still "a potential stumbling block."

I hope they do not settle and kill everything that way everyone will hate them and they will be ran out of town by fans and players alike

Report: Mankins and Jackson may want a financial settlement

Jim Trotter of SI.com reports a potential stumbling block to the settlement of the players antitrust suit against the NFL could be Chargers wide receiver Vincent Jackson and Patriots guard Logan Mankins, plaintiffs who reportedly want financial settlements before signing off on the settlement. Neither could be reached for comment, but Jackson tweeted Tuesday night that he has made "no demands" and wants to be on the field like every other player.

A source familiar with the situation disputed that and said Jackson's camp indeed is seeking to have his situation addressed.

Well they're getting closer to just giving in and letting things get going and get started.

Breeze and Manning should pay them $10M each.
