SAN DIEGO (AP) -The agent for Darren Sproles says the speedy little running back is staying with the San Diego Chargers.
Gary Wichard says the Chargers notified him Thursday that they have decided to tender the restricted free agent a contract, which will be worth approximately $7.3 million. Another team would have to give the Chargers first- and third-round draft picks if they signed Sproles.
The move comes six days after a source familiar with the situation said the Chargers had decided to allow Sproles to test free agency.
Wichard says the tender will allow the two sides to continue talking about a long-term deal. The agent also says the Chargers realized there was “tremendous” interest in Sproles around the league.
