Chargers Tender Sproles, Release Jamal Williams

Post image for Chargers Tender Sproles, Release Jamal Williams

by Jason Owens on March 4, 2010

UPDATED WITH CHARGERS TWEETS AFTER THE JUMP:

The Chargers announced a handful of roster decisions on Thursday, cutting Jamal Williams while offering tenders to several key restricted free agents including Darren Sproles.

Williams has spent his entire career in San Diego, where he anchored the defensive line. Injuries caught up with him, as he missed almost the entire 2009 season after suffering a triceps injury in the season opener against Oakland.

“This is a difficult time of year and the most difficult part of our job,” general manager A.J. Smith said in a statement. “Jamal has been an anchor of our defense for 12 seasons. He’s battled courageously at one of the most punishing positions on the field, and I respect him immensely.”

Meanwhile, the Chargers have changed their mind after allowing Darren Sproles to walk as a free agent last week and have offered him a first- and third-round tender. If Sproles signs the reported tender — valued at close to $7.3 million — an opposing team would have to give up a first-and third-round pick to the Chargers if they outbid San Diego for his services.

See what Kassim Osgood said about his release and how the Chargers are hinting via Twitter that Williams could return after the jump: Continue Reading →
