I guess that means the Chargers were stupid for cutting him...

Edit: He hasn't actually signed yet, but I don't know how to change the thread title.

Yancy Thigpen!

Somehow I wouldn't doubt if he has around 500 yards and 4 TD's at the end of season

Always suspected a Brees/Meachem conspiracy to get back at AJ.

If he signs are the Chargers off the hook for his salary and cap number?

I thought that could happen.

Nope. He is a FA.

Excellent question.

EDIT: Nevermind, doh! :banghead:

No, the Chargers are still paying him either way, so it still counts against their cap.

Whatever the Saints pay him is reduced from his salary owed by us...

So he signs for the Vet minimum!
