Post by: jtksu on May 05, 2011, 06:17:15 PM
As I was perusing the latest edition of the super elite USA Today Sports Weekly, I noticed a little nugget about Darren.  The article mentioned that one of the Chargers' draftees was likely to takeoover return duties due to Sproles' likely departure.  WTF is that about?  Anyone have any idea where he's likely to land?  Scoops??!!

Despite the fact that the San Diego Chargers drafted two return men and a change-of-pace running back, the San Diego Union Tribune reports that coach Norv Turner said he wants to keep free-agent running back Darren Sproles.

Turner told the paper: “One of the guys I’m very interested in keeping on our football team and is a big part of what we do and will still be a big part of what we do if we keep him here is Darren Sproles. The fact we drafted a back and where he fits in would not affect our situation with Darren.”

San Diego drafted defensive back/returner Marcus Gilchrist of Clemson in the second round. In the sixth round, San Diego took Connecticut running back/returner Jordan Todman, who is considered by many as a steal. It seems like San Diego is, at least, preparing for Sproles to leave.

Sproles will be pricey and he could be attractive on the open market. Regardless of what Turner said, preparing for Sproles’ departure was the right call.

It was Gilchrist that was referenced in the article I read.  I'm sure Darren will be playing somewhere next year, kinda curious where though.

Seen alot of speculation that Miami could bring him in as a change of pace back for DT. Could you imagine that super elite all-KSU backfield?

Also heard that the Heat were looking at getting Pullen for his defense. No wonder Frank wanted to move there so bad. It's basically Manhattan South.

San Diegoians love him and if left he wouldn't have his adorable nickname anymore.

I heard he was released into free agency.. however, Turner said he "Wants Darren Sproles back" HERE WE GO

Turner told the paper: “One of the guys I’m very interested in keeping on our football team and is a big part of what we do and will still be a big part of what we do if we keep him here is Darren Sproles. The fact we drafted a back and where he fits in would not affect our situation with Darren.”

If they do keep Darren Sproles, i believe he will still be the starting KR/PR
