offer was not place by the proper deadline, that player would become a free agent.
And team officials are convinced the reverse is true in this case.','3/5/2004 11:52:58 AM','11:52:58 AM','Friday'4962,2004,1016 6578,26,75,'Roundup: LT Sore; Owens & Buckhalter Mad & More','According to North County Times staff writer Jay Paris, the Chargers werent saying much Wednesday, especially regarding their star running backs injured right shoulder. LaDainian Tomlinson suffered a setback recently with his shoulder, and it was serious enough that he saw various doctors about it.
When Chargers general manager A.J. Smith was asked to speak about Tomlinson -- and free agencys opening day -- he declined.
"A.J. said hes not going to comment every time someone has some work done on him," team spokesman Bill Johnston told Paris.
But as Paris correctly noted: "Tomlinson is hardly a small spoke in the Chargers wheel." He led the NFL with 2,370 yards from scrimmage, while rushing for 1,645 yards and catching 100 passes.
While becoming the first 1,000-yard/100-catch player in NFL history, Tomlinson was the lone offensive bright spot during a dreadful 4-12 season. He recorded those impressive numbers despite playing with his ailing right shoulder in seasons second half. He recently started lifting weights again to strengthen it, then abruptly stopped when something didnt feel right.
"I aggravated it, and it wasnt getting better," Tomlinson said. "So I wanted to get it checked out because I didnt want it to do anything to mess it up."
Tomlinson saw a specialist in Orange County and said he met with Chargers team doctor David Chao on Tuesday. Medical exams showed fluid on the shoulder but no structural damage.
"That was good news," said Tomlinson, the only Charger to rush for 1,000 yards in each of his first three seasons. "Now Ive got to let it calm down. ..."
