LanDainian Tomlinson and the San Diego Chargrs restructured the final three years of his contract in a deal that gives the team some needed cap room and it gives Tomlinson more job security.Complete details of the breakdown weren't available Tuesday night. According to a source, Tomlinson won't take a pay cut from his $6.725 million salary in 2009 but the deal was restructured to give the team a cap break in 2009. Tomlinson's cap number in 2009 was scheduled to be $8,791,666.General manager A.J. Smith sounded relieved that any uncertainty over L.T.'s future was over."The way I'm looking at it, L.T. has helped us on the field and now he's gone a step further and he's helped us off the field," Smith told The Associated Press."I'm just happy that it worked out," Smith said. "I felt comfortable that it had a chance. We wanted him back, he wanted to come back. Everything was as smooth as it can be in negotiations."
This is all cool. But LT getting back to putting up numbers like he used to is ultimately the best solution to this problem.
