Darren Sproles to become UFA
The Chargers evidently hate running backs. Michael Turner... gone. LaDainian Tomlinson... gone. Darren Sproles... Soon to be gone.
His rushing numbers aren't great...
93 carries, 343 yards, 3 TD, 3.7 ypc.
But his receiving numbers are...
45 catches, 497 yards, 4 TD, 11.0 ypc.
The 11.0 yards per catch is excellent for a RB, and obviously he's a very explosive option as both a kick and punt returner.
Anyone interested at the right price?

He'll want $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
And lots of it.
I don’t think you can make high demands when a RB needy team gave you the boot. $4 mil a year should nab him. Although, I reeeeaally want Blount or Gerhart in the draft.

wow $4 million is still a lotta cash
especially when you consider he’d probably be a 3rd back behind LeSean and Weaver.
He’s so tiny. It’s amazing to watch him come through the line and break tackles. He’s like Mini-Me all greased up and on steroids.
Suddenly, there are tons of RBs on the market. I’d actually like to have him here. Either him or Thomas Jones.

I'm not going to pretend I've studied that aspect of his game, but...
He’s 5’6, 185. He’s not blocking anyone.
he probably
blocks like lorenzo booker. Man he was getting his ass handed to him in training camp.
"Bleed green for life my nocos"
MJD can block and he’s not much bigger than Sproles. I have a hard time believing he’s only 185 though.
I am the people's troll :3™
Getting these from NFL.com…
MJD – 5’7, 208 pounds
Sproles – 5’6, 185 pounds
Westbrook – 5’10, 203 pounds
MJD isn’t much taller than Sproles, but he has good twenty pounds on him.
RIP Jim Johnson, best ever.
Kurt Warner: HOF Class of 2015
I am the same height as MJD but he has 60 frickin’ pounds on me. Unreal. He truly deserves the nic “Pocket Hercules”.
Bye 36, you will be missed...

See What He Wants
I think we should get him. Our offense with his ability. The chargers just went away from the running game thats why his numbers are not that high but… Kickoffs and the screen game? Come on now. If he truly wants to win the bowl then he will take what is offered to him. Between Sproles, McCoy and Weaver our backfield would be solidified to me.
NO! he has good receiving yards because they throw a lot of screens and flats to him and he is shifty. They have to do that because as a running back he’s horrible. He’s one dimensional he can make people miss sure and he is dangerous on the outside with the ball in his hands but honestly just throw those screens to Jackson and you’ll get the same if not better results.
Sorry I just don’t see the point in Darren Sproles he’s not a runningback.
