The Facts:
Sproles could well follow LaDainian Tomlinson out the door and will at least be given the chance to do so. The Chargers remain interested in signing Sproles to a long-term deal, but they won't be retaining his services on a one-year basis as they did in 2009.
Reported by the San Diego Union-Tribune
Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As the franchise player last year, Sproles made slightly more than $6.6 million last season. Because he would be entitled to a 10 percent increase in 2010, that means the Chargers will have to pay him almost $7.3 million for one year if they give him a tender as a restricted free agent. Per Union-Tribune staffer Kevin Acee: "Not gonna happen. ..." The Chargers and Sproles' agent will talk at the combine, for sure, and that is where a long-term contract will likely first be broached in earnest. But the Chargers will not offer a tender, and that means Sproles will be a free agent. ... As such he will certainly draw interest. Stay tuned.
