The Facts:
This is not from anyone officially, but neither is it totally out of thin air. It is definitely something to think about. The fact that Sproles has not signed his franchise tender could mean he is planning on sitting out the offseason -- or least much of it -- unless he gets a long-term contract.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
According to Union-Tribune staffer Kevin Acee, "This would not be an act of defiance. It would be an act of preservation. ..." If Sproles were to sign the tender, he is compelled to be at mini-camp and training camp. And, sure, he'd be guaranteed his $6.6 million. But nothing more. ... So while the Chargers and Sproles' agent discuss a long-term deal, Sproles could well decide against running the risk of injury until he gets one.
