Another message that Professional Football Running Backs have a short life-span was confirmed today. The San Diego Chargers released there most popular player, all-time leading rusher and scorer, LaDanian Tomlinson.
Tomlinson, who is now 30 years old and in his 9th season, has seen his productivity and playing time decline over the past couple of seasons was also the highest paid player on the team. He was also apparently due a $2 million dollar bonus come March.

L.T, a surefire Hall of Famer, now is looking for work. The market place for Free Agents in the NFL will never be more lucrative than it will this season. However, the marketplace for 30+ year old Running Backs may not be quite as high. It's an unfortunate turn of events for someone identified throughout his career with one team. As many who follow the NFL know, when players leave that team at this point in their career, rarely are they as successful as they were earlier on.
