Tomlinson Foolish For Not Taking a Reduced Role
San Diego Chargers starting running back Ladanian Tomlinson has not played in the post season the last several years. Tomlinson is foolish for refusing to reduce his role.
According to Pro Football Talk.com Tomlinson is refusing to take a pay cut. The reason being is that he does not want his salary to be lower than back up Darren Sproles who is set to make around $6.6 million this year, because he was franchised tag.
Simply, Tomlison is foolish he has eight years in the league in which he has carried the ball for more than 300 times each year except last year, which was 292.
After that many years in the league a running backs body starts to break down. Even the great running backs like Thurman Thomas and Emmitt Smith started to break down after eight years.
If Tomlinson is not willing to take a pay cut, then he is going to find himself without a job.
