SAN DIEGO -- LaDainian Tomlinson is no longer a San Diego Charger.

The Chargers released Tomlinson on Monday, a source told ESPN.com's John Clayton.

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4936783

statement from Charger's owner:

"It has been a privilege to work with him and witness his entire career," owner Dean Spanos said in a statement. "I'm proud of him and grateful to him for the way he has carried himself both on and off the field.

"No matter where he chooses to continue his career, in my mind LT will always be a San Diego Charger. His legacy as one of the greatest running backs the game has ever seen will be as a Charger."

Dude, you read my thoughts. My only question is in his mind, does LT think he's still elite? If so, he'll be WAY too expensive even though we would be essentially getting an older version of D-Will and a potential 1st-2nd round pick in return.

It wouldn't hurt to see what kind of money he's floating out there to teams.

DWill to the Chargers for their 2010 and 2011 1st round picks.

This wuold be a really unpopular move amongst fans but I fully agree. We shuold sign LT right now to give us another quality #2 back, make Stew the starter, and trade DWill for multiple first rounders.

This team isn't going anywhere next year and there could be a change in the coaching staff the year after that. Might as well start to rebuild at WR and QB.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
