The Facts:
Sproles signed his one-year, $7.2813 million restricted free agent tender Friday, according to a source.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As ESPN insider John Clayton reminded readers, Sproles was the Chargers franchise player last season but the uncapped year prevented him from being a free agent because he didn't have six years of experience. To prevent him from leaving, the Chargers designated him a restricted free agent. Sproles has averaged 4.5 yards a carry during his career. He's also one of the top return specialists in the NFL. In large part because of his return prowess, the team has been reluctant to overuse Sproles on offense. That seems unlikely to change (even with LaDainian Tomlinson gone and the team's plans at the position unclear).
