Chargers Sign RB Reggie Bush

Former San Diego High School star Reggie Bush will be returning to the 619, this time as a member of his hometown San Diego Chargers. Bush will most likely be taking over Darren Sproles role as Returner and back up Running back. The 1-2 combination of Ryan Mathews and Reggie Bush has San Diego fans very excited. Brian Schottenheimer is taking a page out of the Kansas City Chiefs and New Orleans playbook and putting play makers all over the field.


Lance Moore signs 3 year deal with Chargers

Speaking of taking a page out of the Saints playbook, the Chargers have also agreed with WR Lance Moore on a 3 year deal. With Vincent Jackson now in San Francisco, the team is looking for help at the WR position. Last season the Chargers counted on Malcolm Floyd and Legadu Naanee to fill the void but they were unsuccessful leading the team to a very disappointing season.
