After a long, brilliant career in San Diego, where LaDainian Tomlinson wrote the Chargers rushing record book in a fashion that may never be duplicated, the future hall of famer was finally released.
The fact is, LT and the Chargers were dancing around his age, declining production, and contract for the past two seasons. But it took his awful 2009 performance to send the final ...
After taking a look at the weak crop of unrestricted free agents at the quarterback position, we took a good look at a solid group of running backs, now finding ourselves on the wide receivers.This is an under rated group, and could produce a few hefty, although well-deserving contracts, considering a lack of great depth in the wide receiver pool.Of course, the play on all the restricted free agents can ...

It's just a rarity, is all.
Even Calvin Johnson wasn't a home run hit in his rookie season. Neither were Larry Fitzgerald, Javon Walker, and so many others.
It's very rare that teams are blessed with an Anquan ...
There's little doubt as to who the top two defensive tackles are in this year's draft, but after the two big guys (who are likely top-five picks), there's a muddled group that hold a lot of potential. Read on for the top defensive tackles in the 2010 NFL Draft: 1. Ndamukong Suh (Nebraska)
