Chargers assigned the non-exclusive franchise tag to RB Darren Sproles.
The one-year tender pays $6.621 million, and Sproles is worth it. While GM A.J. Smith doesn't consider him an every-down player, Sproles provides needed insurance for 30-year-old LaDainian Tomlinson. The Chargers also have the options of releasing or trading LT closer to the draft if no pay cut is worked out. If both backs are kept, more of a 60:40 timeshare is likely.
