Volek excited to give Chargers starting QB Rivers a break Sunday NFL.com (01.01.2010 19:51) Billy Volek, a 10-year NFL veteran, is expected to receive his most extensive playing time in two years Sunday when his red-hot San Diego Chargers host the Washington Redskins in a meaningless regular-season finale.
So now the question is....who will be the RB in San Diego next year? Sproles is a free agent and not an every down back. It is so confusing as to who TRUE free agent RBs are because of the uncapped year.
I believe Ronnie Brown and Cadillac Williams are the top 2, but I do not see either fitting that team. There are quite a few restricted free agents......including Pierre Thomas. Maybe swing a trade for Tashard Choice? I just don't see the Chargers going with a rookie RB.
