LaDanian Tomlinson Won’t Retire After Season

LaDainian Tomlinson

San Diego Chargers running back LaDanian Tomlinson has no plans to retire after the season is over.

However, it may be curtains on his career in Southern California according to Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune.

Once the premiere running back in the NFL, Tomlinson’s yards per carry rank has dropped to 49th in the league.

The Chargers have a tough decision on their hands as LT is owed $5 million for next season, leading many to believe Sunday’s playoff game against the New York Jets will be his final home game with the team.

If he is able to stay in the league, he will likely have to play in a limited capacity on another team for much less pay.

On a lighter note, Tomlinson is looking forward to fatherhood and hopes to have his child visit him in the locker room in the future.

“I kind of wish I had a little one to run around now,” Tomlinson said. “… I’ve always missed that part of it. I’ve always wanted that so bad. I hope I play long enough I can at least have a kid come in the locker room.”

His wife is currently four months pregnant.
