Phenom RB Darren Sproles signed the Chargers’ tender today meaning that he will earn a whopping $6.621 million this season (based upon the average salaries of the top 5 RBs in the league) and if another team makes him an offer, they have to relinquish 2 1st-round draft picks next year to the Chargers.

With the 16th pick overall, the Chargers selected DE Larry English from Northern Illinois (presumably to make up for dumping Igor Olshanksy.)  English was, in my opinion, a GREAT pick and has tremendous potential.  Read more here.
The Chargers will hold a live Q&A with English on Sunday, 25 April.  For more information, check out www.chargers.com.

Apparently he is healthy, but just thinks it’s time to say farewell to the broadcast booth.  He didn’t look too well when I ran after his golf cart following the Chargers/Colts playoff game earlier this year to try to get an autograph (I failed, by the way); but then again, he isn’t a spring chicken.

Introducing the starting QB for the Chicago Bears….Jay Cutler.  This is for to laugh.  If he couldn’t last in Denver amidst all the hoots and hollers, what makes anyone think that he will be able to withstand the elevated boos and jeers of a tough Chicago crowd?
