Michael Wright says it isn't a done deal
The jersey is part of the recruiting process, but a signing should be happening sometime today.

This is goodstuff.
I live in San Diego and I watch every Chargers game that doesn’t conflict with watching the Jags.
Osgood is insane on special teams and has potential as a Wide Receiver. I’m fired up on this!
Montell and Kasim flying down on punt and kickoffs?!!! Russ Purnell is frothing right now.
Having watched Him
In preseason games I know he has some talent as a receiver.
Not super quick, but he can make some incredible catches.
Now we will know who “should” win probowl votes.
Thank You
Jesus, this is not a risky pick in FA like we’ve done some years at WR, and he has good size and I think will complement Sims-Walker well
Never heard of the guy but apparently...
6’5 and fast.
Plus:
3× Pro Bowl selection (2006, 2007, 2009)
1× All-Pro selection (2006)
I like.
Also smart football player.

As Rosenthal posted a little while ago, Kassim Osgood is the newest member of the Jaguars.
His contract pays him well as a special-teamer; even better if he becomes a successful receiver.
Per a league source, Osgood received a signing bonus of $2.2 million. He has a guaranteed base salary in 2010 of $775,000, along with a $25,000 workout bonus.
Next year, his base climbs to $1.475 million, with another $25,000 workout bonus.
Then, in 2012, he’ll receive a base salary of $2.175 million and another $25,000 workout bonus.
So the base value of the deal is $6.675 million, with $2.975 million guaranteed.
Here’s the kicker — he can make a lot more if he becomes a competent pass-catcher.
Each year, he’s eligible for up to $1.3 million in incentives based on receptions. For 40, he gets $200,000. With 10 more, he gets another $400,000. Another 10? He gets $700,000 more, for a total of 1.3 million.
He also is eligible for an annual Pro Bowl bonus of $100,000, regardless of whether he makes it as a special-teams player or as a receiver.
It’s unclear whether Osgood will become a competent wideout. For whatever reason, the Chargers never gave him much of a chance.
As we might soon find out, it might have been because he can’t catch. Either way, he’s got 3.9 millions to try.

I especially like
where Osgood tweets “And Gene Smith is awesome! Good man”
I’ll be interested to watch the competition at wr this year.
Kampman’s deal is expected to be around KVB’s deal with Detroit.
