OT -- Chambers to SD

Wow. You don't see trades like that very often. That could be a very big move for a SD team that could still come together by the end of the year.

It will be nice to see Chambers play with a good QB for a change.

Miami got the better deal.

IDK, I would rather have Chambers than a second round pick.

The possibilty of this happening was brought up back in August, so I'm not too surprised.

It's great for me because Chambers is on my fantasy team.

Before terms were announced I would have guessed a 4th round pick. Then I checked up on Chambers season and figured a 3rd.

2nd seems a bit much. If the Packers were as bad as the Phins and we could get a 2nd for Driver I'd be pretty thrilled.

Everyone in Miami apparently hated chambers.

Depending on his contract status,so would i if i'm San Diego.Chambers should have at least a couple good years left in him and second round choices are by no means a lock to pan out.The Chargers roster dictates a more win today and next year mode.

Which is why trading for Turner was always a pipe dream.

Not trading Turner last offseason I could see. They could still get six games out of him before dealing the guy to a runningback starved team.

But not dealing Turner now is beyond stupid.

That team isn't beating the Pats and chances are they couldn't beat the Colts. Hell, they're not even a lock to make the playoffs.

I know they wanted to keep him around in case LT gets injured, but if they lose Tomlinson they're going to be done anyway. They could get a nice pick from a desperate team.

I definitely wouldn't have given up a 2nd for Chambers. He hasn't looked like his pro-bowl form all season, and there is no way he gets good looks at San Diego. I think that his base salary is over 5M as well.

I don't like this trade for San Diego.

I don't know, I would trade Norv for a bag of footballs at this point. :lol:
