The Facts:
Following up on a previous item. ... The Chargers have changed their minds. The team is placing a first-and-third tender on Sproles, sources said Thursday morning.
Reported by the San Diego Union-Tribune
Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As Union-Tribune staffer Kevin Acee reminded readers, Sproles had been notified last week the Chargers would not tender him as a restricted free agent and would allow him to test the market as an unrestricted free agent. The move guarantees Sproles a salary of $7.27 million if he stays with the Chargers, unless the club can sign him to a long-term deal. He made $6.62 million last season as the Chargers' franchise player and is entitled to a 10 percent raise. According to Acee, Sproles was scheduled to visit the Kansas City Chiefs this weekend and also St. Louis, Philadelphia and Washington. It is unlikely he will take those trips now.
