Chargers cut LT
The LaDainian Tomlinson era is over in San Diego. After
suffering a series of injuries and losing his old explosiveness,
the running back was released by the Chargers on Monday,
just weeks before he was due to receive a $2 million signing
bonus. According to FoxSports.com, the move had been an-
ticipated by both sides for some time. Tomlinson had said that
he'd like to play for a couple more seasons after this past year
ended, when the Chargers lost to the New York Jets in the play-
offs. The 30-year-old had a dreadful season by his standards last
year, rushing for 730 yards on 223 carries, a career low. Tom-
linson's agent, Tom Condon, told FoxSports.com that he would
use the upcoming NFL combine to gauge the interest of teams
around the league, and that he doesn't expect LT to retire yet.
