The Facts:

But LT admitted that after having the fewest touches and fewest yards of his career in 2008 he is no longer the center of the Chargers' offense. And he wonders what the future holds. “I'm not getting any younger,” he said. “Over the last two years getting hurt and not being able to play, you start to question yourself whether you can play a full season.” The Chargers will certainly ask that same question; Tomlinson is under contract through 2011. But his salary-cap number is $8.8 million in 2009, a season he will start at 30 years old and coming off two season-ending injuries. Big decision on LT and Darren Sproles, who will become a free agent, are coming down the pike. Stay tuned.
