Not wanting to leave San Diego, running back LaDainian Tomlinson saved the San Diego Chargers $2.25 million in salary-cap room when he restructured the final three years of his contract, a source confirmed Monday.
The one time fantasy superstar was slated to make $24 million over the final three years of his contract, but the Chargers decided he was no longer worth that price tag and asked him to revisit his deal.
Under the new agreement, San Deigo will give him a $2.875 million signing bonus and lower his base salary to $3.825 million
