because nobody has any good idea of what his “value” is. There’s never been a player like him that is a game changing kick returner/punt returner AND could be a big part of the offense, but most likely cannot be a starter. Who would be the closest match? Devin Hester? Leon Washington?

I think Washington’s a closer match because he plays RB and not WR, but I also think Washington is bigger and has more potential to eventually take over as the starter.

A lot of this depends on if there’s anyone out there that loves Sproles and how much he values the Chargers. It wouldn’t surprise me to see him signed to a 3-4 year deal with us, just like it wouldn’t surprise me to see him get a 3 year deal with someone else (New England? Kevin Faulk is getting old). We have enough potential replacements in terms of returners, and since he kindof takes up a spot in the backfield by not being able to move up to number 1 if an injury occurs you cannot spend a ton on him.
