Chargers will non-tender Sproles

Darren Sproles will also say goodbye to his chargers jersey after the farewell of LaDainian Tomlinson.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the team hasn’t made an official announcement.The move came four days after the team released Tomlinson, who ranks eighth on the all-time rushing list with 12,490 yards.If the Chargers wanted to keep Sproles, they’d have to make him an offer of about $7.3 million.The Chargers have always valued Sproles as a multiple threat. While they can still talk with Sproles about a long-term deal, other teams might want to give him a shot as a featured back.

Sproles has said he believes he can be an every-down back. The Chargers have used him as a backup running back, return man and as a receiver out of the backfield.
