Tomlinson’s time in San Diego ends

If RB's are interchangeable behind an excellent O line, then what's wrong with bringing in a guy like LT to replace Mike Bell?

LT has been very vocal of the fact that he just wants to win a ring. Doesn't sound like it's about money or playing time or records.

Think of LT being to our backfield what Sharper is to our secondary and Brees is to our WR's and OL.

I'm not ready to say go after him, but I'm intrigued.

i have no problem bringing in a guy like LT who would be a leader on and off the field

the problem is paying him starter money which would put our team in a hole as far as going after other guys.

i understand we cant really go after free agents this year but there are rules that allow us to target certain free agents should we lose key players on our roster. I think time would be better spent if we were looking for other positions to fill obvious voids in our team

LT doesnt present or offer something that we really dont already have
