The San Diego Chargers release LaDainian Tomlinson
The San Diego Chargers have released 30-year old running back LaDainian Tomlinson. Tomlinson played in 14 games for the Chargers last season and he carried the ball 223 times for 730 yards (3.3 ypc) with 12 TD runs. He also caught 20 passes for 154 yards (7.7 avg) last season. Personally I think the Chargers are giving up on Tomlinson a little too soon as I think he has something left. Tomlinson played in 141 games in his nine years with the Chargers and he carried the ball 2,880 times for 12,490 yards (4.3 ypc) with 138 TD runs. He also caught 530 passes for 3,955 yards (7.5 avg) with 15 TD grabs for the Chargers. L.T. finishes his career with the Chargers as the all-time leader in both rushing yards and rushing TDs. He is also #3 all-time in receptions for the Chargers. Tomlinson is the NFL’s #8 all-time leading rusher and he is #2 all-time in rushing TDs just 26 behind Emmitt Smith. The Chargers will now have to find a new featured running back for the first time in 10 years and it won’t be easy replacing one of the best running backs in NFL history.
