LaDainian TomlinsonSet Number: X81277 TK1 R2 F300
Denver Broncos: TE Shannon Sharpe
We’re bending the rules a bit here because Sharpe only played two seasons for the Broncos after the 1999 cutoff, but he’s also exactly what Denver could use right now. Before Sharpe spent his days yelling his opinions loudly at Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayless he was actually an elite tight end.
Sharpe was an eight-time Pro Bowler, four-time All-Pro selection and three-time Super Bowl champion for the Broncos. Bo Nix is emerging as the future franchise quarterback for the Broncos. Courtland Sutton has played a huge role in that ascension, but adding Shannon Sharpe to the mix would give him a massive upgrade at tight end.
Kansas City Chiefs: RB Jamaal Charles
Jamaal Charles’ peak wasn’t very long, but it was dynamic. Isiah Pacheco does some good things in the Chiefs offense, but Charles was All-Pro twice and approached 2,000 total yards in 2010 and 2013. His breakaway speed made him a threat to score every time he touchded the ball.
The Chiefs could use a left tackle and their receiving corps could certainly use a boost. But the opportunity to give Andy Reid one of the most explosive playmakers in the Chiefs arsenal over the last 25 years is too good to pass up.
Las Vegas Raiders: CB Charles Woodson
The Raiders season is already over. There was some consideration for Rich Gannon here. The former MVP could at least help the Raiders figure out which parts of the supporting cast are right for the quarterback of the future. But he might actually be good enough to elevate this Raiders team to a few more wins over the course of the season which isn’t what they want at this point.
Ultimately, Woodson would bring some nostalgia and attitude to a Raiders defense that has underperformed. Woodson’s best seasons may have actually occured in Green Bay but he was a Raiders for the vast majority of his career, playing 11 years in the Silver and Black. He had 27 interceptions, 84 passes defended and 18 forced fumbles.
Los Angeles Chargers: RB LaDainian Tomlinson
The sting of J.K. Dobbins recent knee injury would feel much less severe if a prime LaDainian Tomlinson was waiting in the wings for the Chargers. Tomlinson was the Chargers offense for much of the time he was on the team and he’d undoubtedly make a huge impact on a team coached by Jim Harbaugh and Greg Roman.
Tomlinson went over 2,000 total yards three times in his career and set the record for most total touchdowns in a season with 31. Giving Justin Herbert that kind of weapon with the kind of defense the Chargers are playing would be a recipe for a contender.
