Football Chargers use Franchise Tag on Sproles

I don't like this move.

We needed to lock him up to at least a 3 or 4 year deal.

Now the Chargers will have to use a pick in the draft on a RB, where I don't think they would have had to if they signed him to a multi-year contract.

I am hoping you all trade LT, get hit with the remainder of his salary and then add in Sproles salary..

That should hopefully take a huge chunk out of your 14m

If we cut LT (which wont happen) the cap hit is $2 Million compared to the $8 Million he is owed this year.

If you really want our cap to be weak then you want LT to stay here.
