Figured that would be the case. Chargers have gone to more of a passing attack anyway. Plus LDT is past his prime. He can still be effective if placed in the right system with a solid O-Line, but he is not the TD machine he was a few years back. Wish him the best where ever he winds up playing next.

Let's see how he acts about it. If he's not able to see that he's not the same player that he was a few years ago, then he's going to run his mouth, compounding the problem. If he does see that he's not that player, and works to get back as close to that player as he can, then he's all good.

I've just gotten a bad vibe from him lately... (Sorry, friend of mine's a huge Bolts fan, so I follow them now, too...)

it does look like he is a shell of himself. but, it could have just been a bad year. i don't know, he was too damn good for me to think that he doesn't have ANYTHING left.

imo, the bigger news is that Brian Westbrooke is available.

Hard to argue with the decision over Minnesota. Get to live/play in NY and IMO the Jets have a better O-Line to block for him. We all saw the Vikings O-Line underachieve and struggle to deal with 7-8 guys in the box, and as a result AD was often facing tacklers 1 to 2 yds behind the LOS.
