It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Sproles is the only guy I would want in a Patriots uniform but it's not going to happen because he is due 7 million this next year and LT is going to be cut (or traded I would lol). San Diego will lock up Sproles and Jackson in long term contracts if they are smart because they are two of their best play makers.Westbrook is oft injured and probably not worth the risk. LT is the anti-Patriot. Sproles would be an upgrade in the return game, and Brady loves those short shifty receivers.

I agree with the poster before me said and that the Chargers wont let Sproles get away. LT isnt the same as he once was so I'd pass on him and Westbrook is too old and injury prone. If we were to make a huge move in the RB position this off season I would like it to be Ronnie Brown. He would be a great fit in NE and is fairly young. Do I think it will happen, no, but it is a nice thought.
Sproles isn't due anything next year. He's a restricted free agent.
The problem with the Chargers keeping Sproles is that if they can't get a deal done, they will have to give him the highest RFA tender to keep him and since he is due at least 20% more than his 2009 salary. That means his tender offer would be around $8 million. That is a lot of money for a guy who has yet to prove he can be an every down back. My guess is that if they cannot get a deal done, they will tender him at a tender that someone would be willing to sign him and give a draft pick up for him like a second round tender. I don't see they ever letting him play for $8 million for one year.
