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.

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.

    • Yep, like I said, I don't mind guaranteeing them money, but make the contracts smaller amounts in order to minimize cap implications. I don't know about "half," the actual amounts, whether more or less than half, would have to be determined by the NFL and NFLPA (which will probably be highly contentious, if not "impossible").  I'm just for whatever leads to the best product on the field while also unaffecting my wallet. As an aside, the NFL owners are greedy bastards in my estimation. They're trying to keep a larger portion of the pie, but players' agents are greedy as well, and they've sewn seeds of greed among the players. It's not all their fault; we all know what our society has evolved into, but the NFL wants a bigger piece of our smaller pocketbooks and refuses to "negotiate" with us (that's why we don't have cheaper and more reasonable à la carte options to view games that they're gradually trying to migrate to paid TV), so fu<k 'em. And then on top of that we have guys trying to water down the product even more by feeding greed. Change the way things are done so that we can at least see players prove themselves on the field without throwing wrenches into the engine that pays guys that have proven they can play on a pro level.
