Now I may or may not agree with his idea of signing in Green Bay.. but I just like the Super Bowl connotation he threw in there. :)

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/writers/don_banks/03/03/free.agents/1.html 

LaDainian Tomlinson, running back
Where he will sign: Houston -- No team can offer as much opportunity in their backfield as the running back-needy Texans, and the chance to play in his home state would also be appealing to Tomlinson. L.T. said he wants to play on a Super Bowl contender and with an elite quarterback, and I could see him convincing himself that the high-powered Texans and Matt Schaub qualify on both counts. Other plausible suitors could include the Lions, Vikings (if Chester Taylor leaves), Eagles, Redskins, Bears, 49ers and Packers.

Where he should sign: Green Bay -- If finally getting a Super Bowl ring is the only reason LT's still playing these days, why not roll the dice with the on-the-rise Packers and quarterback Aaron Rodgers? Tomlinson could be Green Bay's second rushing option behind starter Ryan Grant for a year or two, and there are play-makers galore in that Packers passing game. Unless LT has zero interest in playing in cold weather, Green Bay is a team that nicely fits his dwindling timetable.

Nice to be seen as a SB contender.

I'm not all that excited about LT but if he comes cheap I'd be ok with bringing in a 30 year old RB.

But I don't see him coming cheap.

If HeWhoWentOverToTheDarkSideAndShallNotBeNamed comes back for another year, LT will wind up in Minny.

I wouldn't mind that at all. He's done. He'd only hurt that team. Just like he'd hurt our team.

I don't see what LDT brings to this team which would make us want him. At this point in their careers, Grant is a better rusher and Jackson is a better 3rd down back. I asume that Green will be gone and I bet that our rookie RB will bring more to the table than LDT does now, as well.

I love how we can stick a fork in LT already.

Was he washed up his rookie year when he only ran for 3.6 yard a carry? Or 04' when he can for 3.9 a carry?

No, instead he embarked on a MVP year in 06'...

I think it is important to keep in mind that LT decline started when Norv took over the team.. and started to shift from a power running team to a balanced WC type offense.. one in which they utilized a weapon in open space more in Spores..

Do I think LT is a featured back at this point? No.

Do I think LT could help a team that already has a back in place but needs some depth. Yes I do.

And I personally think LT would be a dynamite back in a shared role.

Concerns I would have before signing LT would be...

Contract demands..

and more importantly does he understand he is a #2 and not become an issue because he is a 2.

If I have doubts about either.. it is a no go.

But color me as a person that has little doubt that LT would help a ball club if the above conditions were right.

I say he still has gas in the tank.

I'm not saying we are even going to keep him, but based on what I saw, I would.
