LaDainian Tomlinson is a for sure first-ballot Hall of Famer and one of the greatest players of our generation. Whatever happens the rest of his career, LT Chargers jerseys will be the ones to have. People are going to be unloading these things like crazy, but if you are the kind of person who likes sport jerseys, I guarantee in 5 years you will regret either selling or not buying a Tomlinson Chargers jersey when you had the chance.

It just seems like this is one of those guys whose jersey everybody will want once he’s been gone a couple years. Do you see a lot of Joe Montana Chiefs or Franco Harris Seahawks jerseys out there?  Nope.  They had made their departures, but after a few years went by, the went back to being the iconic and in Montana’s case, “face of the franchise” guys with their original teams.  In a few years, when the Tomlinson Chargers jersey is the retro jersey of choice, you’ll be glad to have yours!

Where will Mr. Charger end up?  It’ll be strange to see him in another uniform, but one thing is clear.  Tomlinson wants to win a championship. Sorry Lions fans, he’s not coming to town.  Philly could use another pair of legs, Green Bay has been in search of a good pass-catching back to platoon with Ryan Grant and they are both contenders.  But how about this?  I know a team that loves to bring in supposedly over-the-hill players on the cheap and get good performance out of them.  Could LT fit in with the Patriots?  They’ve been looking for a featured back for years now and LT might just have enough gas in the tank to be the answer for a couple years.  He’s slowing down and isn’t a 25-carry guy anymore, but it’s an intriguing thought.  Hopefully, Tomlinson can get a few more successful years under his belt and can go out on a good note.  He’s one of the best we’ve seen and should be remembered as such.
