Chargers RB Sproles Still Available 'For The Right Deal'

in 2010 Kansas City Chiefs Draft

PrintThe San Diego Chargers surprisingly placed a first and third round tender on RB Darren Sproles this afternoon. That means he's off the market, right?
Well, not exactly.
According to Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune, Sproles is still available.
"But indications are that Sproles can still be had for the right deal -- and it won't take a one and a three," Acee reports. "I don't know what it will take, but I hear there are teams willing to make a deal."
Less than a one and three is the only way something happens and I think all parties know that. The Chargers don't want to pay Sproles $14 million over two years and no team is going to give up a one and a three for a potentially part-time runner.
When looking at Sproles' next move, the Chiefs keep popping up. So far, two different sources have linked the Chiefs to Sproles.
First, it was the National Football Post who said the Chiefs would be interested in him come free agency. Next, it was Acee who reported that Sproles had a visit set up with the Chiefs this weekend (ignoring the fact that Sproles couldn't have any contact with the Chiefs while under contract with the Chargers).
That's two sources who have said the Chiefs like Sproles.
And he's still available.

The price would be raised to trade him to the Chiefs
I would say the chances of us trading for Sproles are slim-to-none, for multiple reasons.
i seriosuly think the chargers knew we were going to meet with him
and THEN they tendered him…. THOSE BASTARDS!!!!
You're a goddamn quarterback! You know what that means? It's the top spot, kid. It's the guy who takes the fall. It's the guy everybody's looking at first - the leader of a team - who will support you when they understand you. Who will break their ribs and their noses and their necks for you, because they believe. 'Cause you make them believe. That's a quarterback.

Cassel can lead us.
The only things is...
there is no way SD and KC get together on a trade. When was the last time you saw a trade within the division?
I'm officially on the 'Draft Eric Berry' train.
Haley-Crennel 2010.
Heres the problem though...
We don’t need him bad enough to give up the picks that SD would want. I like the idea of the Chester Taylor deal better. Not because I think he’s better but I do think he’s a better, more economical option for us.
The Right Deal
is one that’s NOT with the Chiefs. Or the Broncos or Raiders.
I hope Smith chokes on Sproles’ salary, and has to cut him in a year when the cap comes back.
The path to Victory is made of losers.
Pioli will have Tuna middle man the deal.
Sproles to miami but doesn’t unpack his bags. Sproles to KC and tuna gets our last pick next year.
Yeah...but we beat the donkeys like a rented mule.
Sounds good
When in doubt; have your father(-in-law) take care of it.

I still believe the whole reason that there was even a tender put on him was because the Chiefs name popped up.

Would love to have Darren Sproles,
but Chester Taylor doesn’t cost draft picks, and would demand cheaper contracts. Thomas Jones does not cost draft picks either.
Terrell Owens
Think anyone snags him up this year, or is his career done?
He hates Todd Haley

I don't even know TO
and I still hate him

Think there are a few.
Ravens, Bengals (Always loves giving second chances, and third, and fourth, and fifth, and so on.), Redskins, Bears (Why not? They’re going after everyone else.), and Raiders (Hello Al.) are the five teams I could see going after him.

I'm not really sure
what TO did to wear out his welcome this time. I never really heard him do anything overly stupid. Did I miss anything? I thought he handled himself better this year than in recent times.
This year, it was not his off-the-field issues.
It was his on-the-field issues.

But
aren’t the Bills also down on the guy that was throwing to him now?
True
but Trent Edwards was not the only one the Bills were down on. They were expecting more out of the Edwards-Owens duo in 2009, and fair or not; Owens was not resigned because of the failures.

LOL!
Actually, I’ve heard that the Eagles are looking at him…They can have him.
So what is it?

First of all,
I don’t really understand what the Chargers are trying to do with Sproles. Second, I hope they end up stuck with him. He’s a special teams guy in my eyes, which means, he’s probably closing in on his expiration date. Especially when you add his carries in. Pass. Give me Taylor.
I'm going to bed.
Maybe tomorrow will bring good news.
I still want Chambers & Croyle to be Chiefs 2010.
Scott Pioli's star will shine in 2010.
Win or lose, the Chiefs scare the bejesus of all opponents in 2010

1. Are they an upgrade over what we already have?
2. Do they have high football IQ?
3. Can they make a difference from Day 1?
4. Do they have a history of leadership?
5. Sign him up.
