RB Sproles could join Tomlinson to be free agent

The San Diego Chargers have given up nine-year veteran running back LaDainian Tomlinson because of failure in long-term-contract negotiation, and they may continue using the exit strategy with another running back, Darren Sproles.

Having spent all of his first four seasons with the Chargers, Sproles could become an unrestricted free agent if the Chargers do not use franchise tag or offer new contract before March 5 deadline for free agency. But according to reports by the San Diego Union-Tribune, the Chargers have no interest in holding onto Sproles with the franchise tag or as a restricted free agent cause that will cost them $7.3 million. What they are expecting is a long-term contract.

But if they fail to meet Sproles’ demand for a long-term contract and let him enter the free agents market that include Tomlinson and Brian Westbrook, it would be wonderful news to other teams who may be in need of good running backs. Hope the Chargers won’t fill regretful when Sproles decides to put on another team’s NFL jersey.
