San Diego Chargers outside LB Shawne Merriman recently changed agents. Previously, he was represented by Tom Condon, who doesn’t have a very good working relationship with Chargers GM A.J. Smith. In an effort to get a new deal, he hired David Dunn. And sources tell Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune that Dunn sat [...]
Big news day in Seattle, huh? The Seattle Seahawks traded a second-round pick in 2010 and a third-round pick in 2011 to the San Diego Chargers in exchange for QB Charlie Whitehurst. The Seahawks then turned around and gave him $10 million over two years, according to Adam Schefter. “Seahawks gave QB Charlie Whitehurst a [...]
The Chicago Bears have released former All-Pro CB Nathan Vasher, according to Adam Schefter. Vasher, 29, was an All-Pro in 2005, but has been pretty much ineffective the last few years. Many league observers didn’t think Vasher would even make the team out of training camp anyway. Vasher started 13 games in 2006, but has [...]
On a conference call with reporters, new New York Jets RB LaDainian Tomlinson said that he’s fine playing a supporting role to second-year back Shonn Greene. “Absolutely,” he said. “I have no ego.

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, LaDainian Tomlinson is returning to San Diego to think about whether he wants to play for the Minnesota Vikings or the New York Jets. “While he mulls his choice between NY and Minn., LaDainian Tomlinson now is flying back to San Diego, free to think it through,” he tweets. [...]
According to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, the Minnesota Vikings appear to have interest in free-agent RB Ladainian Tomlinson as a possible replacement for Chester Taylor. It makes sense, while OTR doesn’t think that Tomlinson has much left in the tank, he could still be a decent backup to a horse like Adrian Peterson. As slow as [...]
Hopefully for the New York Jets, newly acquired CB Antonio Cromartie is better at handling opposing wide receivers than he is at handling his finances.
The New York Jets have traded a conditional third-round pick to the San Diego Chargers in exchange for used-to-be stud CB Antonio Cromartie. The Jets just cut Lito Sheppard and would like to have another good corner to go opposite Revis Island. The Jets are taking a bit of a gamble with some of Cromartie’s [...]
According to San Diego Chargers WR/special teamer Kassim Osgood on Twitter, the team has cut nose tackle Jamal Williams. “Confirmed: Jamal Williams released — ka,” he tweets. Williams was put on injured reserve last year after only one game. The Chargers must really feel like he is toast because the NT is the linchpin to [...]
Apparently, the San Diego Chargers have changed their minds about letting RB Darren Sproles walk in free agency. The team has tendered him at the first- and third-round levels, meaning he’ll be getting $7.27 million if he stays with the team. That also means that anyone who wants to sign him now, will have to [...]
San Diego Chargers beat writer Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune says that he’s hearing out at the NFL Combine that CB Antonio Cromartie could be a member of the Detroit Lions soon. The Chargers were supposedly looking for a running back in return, but they might be willing to take a mid-round draft [...]
Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune says that the San Diego Chargers are really looking to move cornerback Antonio Cromartie sooner rather than later and that talks at the NFL combine are heating up. Supposedly, the team is looking for a draft pick or a running back in return. Cromartie has seriously falling out [...]
San Diego Chargers star WR Vincent Jackson pleaded guilty to DUI Monday on charges stemming from a January 2009 arrest, according to the San Diego City’s Attorney’s office. He was given the standard punishment for DUI with one prior, five years on probation and 96 hours in custody. That’s right, V-Jax is going to do [...]
The San Diego Chargers have done the inevitable: they released Ladainian Tomlinson. The Chargers are now off the hook for his $2 million bonus and $3 million salary and will look to completely revamp the backfield this year. They also have Darren Sproles, who is a restricted free agent and will cost $7 million to [...]
San Diego Chargers CB Antonio Cromartie is a busy man. He’s busy not doing a lot of things. On the field, he doesn’t like to tackle. And off the field, he apparently doesn’t like to pay child support. Run support, child support, it doesn’t matter to him. As far as being busy, Antonio clearly likes [...]
Once considered one of the elite cornerbacks in the NFL, Antonio Cromartie could now be looking at playing elsewhere in 2010. Sources tell ESPN.com’s Bill Williamson that the San Diego Chargers could be looking to move Cromartie for a running back. The Chargers really need to add to their backfield considering all-world stud Ladainian Tomlinson [...]
ESPN’s Chris Mortensen, who is rarely right about anything including what kind of appetizer to order at Applebee’s, is reporting that the Houston Texans would be among the teams interested in veteran RB Ladainian Tomlinson after he is cut by the San Diego Chargers. We think that the Texans could address their running back situation [...]
San Diego Chargers RB Ladainian Tomlinson has finally faced the facts: He’s done in San Diego.
If this doesn’t get San Diego Chargers CB Antonio Cromartie ridiculed by his coaches and teammates I don’t know what will. Was he playing with glass pads? Glass helmet? Cromartie clearly wants no parts of tackling New York Jets RB Shonn Greene. Wow, and this guy is supposed to be a baller. Keep in mind [...]
Nobody’s career was wasted more than San Diego Chargers running back LaDainian Tomlinson when the Chargers organization let Drew Brees walk away and sign a six-year, $60 million deal with the New Orleans Saints in 2006. San Diego made the choice to develop a young, unproven Philip Rivers during the prime of Tomlinson’s career, rather [...]
San Diego Charger’s place kicker Nate Kaeding signed a six-year, $12.65 million contract extension on September 25th, 2006. The 27-year old is inked through 2012, so Chargers fans, deal with it. He’s your kicker. However, the Chargers organization released his new uniform today that he must wear at all times on the field. I [...]
As tasteless and classless as we are on here, the Nate Kaeding suicide jokes are a bit disturbing only because we’d feel just awful if he really did commit suicide one day. Then we realized that Deadspin posted them so screw it. Looks like they are all over Facebook and Twitter, so we might as [...]
J! E! T! S! Jets! Jets! Je—-uh oh. A couple things here: 1. Don’t act like a royal ass in someone else’s stadium. You want to cheer for your team? Fine. You want to engage in some light banter with the other fans? Be careful, but fine. This guy is taunting. 2. Let’s keep in [...]
Channel 10 news in San Diego is reporting that early Sunday morning, before their game with the New York Jets, San Diego Chargers WR Vincent Jackson was pulled over by police for having his music too loud.
