[Kyle]

That's a nice addition if he plays like he did last year.

[Beerman]

That's a nice addition if he's cheap

Fixed it for ya!

@UTKevinAcee: Finally. Seven long hours into free agency & just six months before season, Chargers make a free agent signing -- RB Donald Brown.

Yea i have buddies in Indy that just texted me. I was hoping i would be the first to announce it. lol Its an upgrade to Ronnie and he looked explosive last year while Trent was sucking.

No where on his timeline does he have that. Seriously doubt we give our 3rd string RB anywhere near that.

They paid a bit much for him. Would've rather seen that money in a extension for Danny Woodhead.

Maybe they don't plan on Mathews being in SD next season

There are not that many backs who can carry the load if the primary back is out, and still be versitile enough to be useful when he is just a part time player. Glad to see we added on of the few that are out there.

The deal includes $4 million guaranteed. With the Chargers already having Danny Woodhead and Ryan Mathews, this one is a definite head scratcher. Mathews is coming off a breakout year, while Woodhead is due just $1.75 million after another strong season. It's worth noting that Bolts GM Tom Telesco is the Colts' former VP of football operations. He clearly has a soft spot for "Dammit Donald," who seemed like a lost cause until picking up the pieces for Trent Richardson last season. He'll likely serve as a deluxe Ronnie Brown, catching passes and pass protecting, though he's never been terribly effective at blitz pick up. - Ian Rapoport

Gerhart got the same as brown and brown is vastly superior.
