For a while now I’ve been hearing rumors that LaDainian Tomlinson might be leaving the San Diego Chargers. As a Bucs fan I am always excited when I hear that a super star player who is past his prime is available because you just know Tampa Bay is going to be looking at him. (Same with the Redskins, the Raiders, and the Dolphins – we all know who we are.) Yet I was still surprised when the Chargers released L.T. yesterday.
I guess I assumed they would be trading him for something. He still had two years left on his contract. Yes, he has been plagued with injuries, and his salary cap figure was through the roof, but as 8th on the all time rushing list, a five time Pro Bowl selection, a former league MVP and the guy who led the NFL in rushing twice in the last five years you would think that San Diego would have gotten something for him. I’m sure Tampa or Washington would have been willing to cough up a couple of draft picks for LaDainian Freaking Tomlinson. No?
Did I mention he is a fantastic dancer?

Let’s hear it Draft Day Suit fans. Where will L.T. end up?
