ForceEight Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 SAN DIEGO -- The San Diego Chargers appear to be bracing their fans for the possibility that LaDainian Tomlinson's brilliant eight-year run with the team could be over. According to the team's Web site, club president Dean Spanos called the star running back Thursday to discuss reports that the Chargers might part with Tomlinson, who has been slowed by injuries the last two postseasons and will count $8.8 million against the salary cap next year. "We talked about the situation and I just tried to explain everything that must be considered," Spanos said in a story detailing the offseason decisions the team must make. "I told him we haven't even started our discussions and won't for a while, so don't jump to any conclusions. And I told him I would call him personally to make sure he's aware of everything that's going on." http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3838617 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpearSrai Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I haven't read enough about it, but are they going to trade him or release him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
52isUnstoppable Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 either way the chargers are morons. Sproles is not an everydown back. They'll have to sign someone else anyway. LT can run, catch and block as good as anyone. One full offseason to heal, he'll be back to a top 5 back next year where ever he ends up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpearSrai Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Maybe they can make a trade with Atlanta for Michael Turner...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravinmaniac52 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Was talking to some football guys last week about how LT is going to be Shaun Alexander. The guy it seems is alway hurt anymore. But I think LT still has something left. Maybe the Chargers are trying to get him to re-work hin contract? Maybe they can make a trade with Atlanta for Michael Turner...... Wasn't the GM the reason why they parted with Marty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
