Tomlinson likely to stay put
With free agency starting at midnight, many believed there was pressure on Chargers GM A.J. Smith to complete a re-structured deal with LaDainian Tomlinson by the end of the day or possibly release the franchise legend. No such pressure exists.
Mike Lombardi of the National Football Post points out that the Chargers are under no timetable to get a deal done with Tomlinson. Unlike the Marvin Harrison and Derrick Brook cases, the Chargers truly want to keep their player. They have plenty of cap room available and there is no pending roster bonus coming up.
The longer this negotiation goes on, the greater the chance Tomlinson returns to the Chargers at a reduced salary. Tomlinson's options will diminish as other teams fill their needs in free agency and the draft. The Chargers will also see their options go down. A backfield of Tomlinson, Darren Sproles, Jacob Hester, and a potential rookie to be named later looks more likely by the day.

Sign Lorenzo Neal back and forget the Jacob Hester Fullback experiment!
