Michael Turner is playing for the San Diego Chargers again this year. Turner has proved to be a very good running back in the last couple years the problem is that he is running behind arguably the most versatile back in the history of the NFL Ladanian Tomlinson. The Chargers were willing to give Turner up for a couple of high draft picks and couldn’t get anyone to take him and they are keeping him as insurance in the case that Tomlinson go injured. Over the last 4 years Turner only has 189 carries and has 1,150 yards with 6 Td’s. In these attempts he is averaging an amazing 6.1 yds a carry which is amazing for any running back in the NFL. Lastly, he can also return kicks with his size and speed. Look for this 5’10” 235 lb animal to get picked up for a big sum of money to either split time as a starter or be the lead back on the team. The main teams that could go this route could be the Cowboys (losing Jones), Saints (to replace Mcalister), Houston (don’t have a long term solution), Seahawks (Alexander is getting old), Cardinals (James is getting too many carries) as well as other teams looking for an upgrade in the RB position.
