SAN DIEGO (AP) -The San Diego Chargers have placed the non-exclusive franchise tag on Darren Sproles, the running back-kick returner who had a huge playoff game against the Indianapolis Colts.
Sproles can still negotiate with other teams. If he receives an offer, the Chargers can either match it or receive two first-round draft choices as compensation.
Sproles received a one-year contract offer from the Chargers that is the average of the top five salaried running backs from 2008. The Chargers and Sproles also may continue to negotiate a long-term contract.
