Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
In case you missed it, Tomlinson, who is due a $2 million roster bonus on March 5 (he's also slated to earn $5 million in 2010) knows he has played his last game as a Charger. “I’m not coming back,” he told Acee last week. “I don’t believe I’ll be back in San Diego. I’ve accepted it. ..." The question now becomes where he closes out his career. The Texans have been mentioned as a possible destination, but local observers in Houston have been dismissive of that notion. ... Wherever he goes, we'll obviously be following closely.
