Chargers will sign Sanders

Source: Chargers to sign Bob Sanders

Former Indianapolis Colts safety Bob Sanders plans to sign a one-year deal with the San Diego Chargers Thursday night, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

Sanders also visited the New York Jets, Jacksonville Jaguars and Buffalo Bills this offseason, according to sources.

Since signing a five-year, $37.5 million deal after being named the defensive player of the year in 2007, the oft-injured Sanders played in only nine regular-season games for the Colts.

If healthy, Bob Sanders is a substantial addition to this defense, which was ranked No. 1 in the NFL. But it's a big "if," writes AFC West blogger Bill Williamson. Blog

Sanders played in just one game last season, leaving the Colts' opener on the team's first defensive series with a torn left biceps.

With safety Antoine Bethea signing a four-year, $27 million contract last summer; Melvin Bullitt, Sanders' backup, emerging as a competent starter; and the Colts still trying to sign four-time league MVP Peyton Manning to a new long-term deal, there wasn't enough room to keep Sanders.

Sanders has 373 tackles, 3½ sacks, two forced fumbles, three recoveries and six interceptions in seven NFL seasons.

Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

Possibly a good pick-up. If he can get healthy it will be a huge pick up.

I'm so mad right now.

 

[Lake Louise]

Yeah Chargers. Hopefully this works out for them. Great defense so he could only improve it.

 

[kam.]

I'm so mad right now.

Why are you mad? Returning to Indy was never an option. They released him for a reason, he thought he was worth more than Indy did.

Fuck him. Colt for life my ass, he can kiss my ass with his big ass fucking contract sitting on the fucking bench all year. Fuck you Bob Sanders FUCK YOU! I hate anyone who signs with the Chargers period, doesn't matter what he did for the team, you sign with a Rival I don't fucking like you.

Bob Sanders has done a ton for the Colts, and you are so quick to turn on him? The Colts disrespected him by not wanting to sign him to what he felt he was worth after the injuries, and he went to a team where he could prove himself and make the money that he wants to make.

Him not being a "Colt for life" is not his fault. The Colts are the one that let him walk.

 

[kam.]

lol Colt fans.

Make me chuckle everytime.

 

[Mooche]

I respect his decision... You guys are too quick to jump when I just posted something saying "I'm so mad right now."

It isn't easy seeing one of your favourite players heading to San Diego, one of my most despised teams in the entire league.

I will never forget what he did for the Colts, and yes, he is a HUGE reason why Peyton is walking around with a ring today.
