Marcus Mason
SAN DIEGO (AP)—The Chargers have claimed running back Marcus Mason off waivers from the Washington Redskins, beginning the process of restocking their backfield.
Mason spent most of his first two NFL seasons on the practice squads of the Redskins and Baltimore Ravens. He played in nine games last season for the Redskins, gaining 127 yards on 32 carries.
The Chargers recently released running backs LaDainian Tomlinson and Michael Bennett.

Kris Wilson
SAN DIEGO (AP)—The San Diego Chargers have agreed to terms with tight end Kris Wilson and defensive end Alfonso Boone.
Both received two-year contracts.
Wilson just completed his second season with the Chargers, catching four passes for 28 yards, with one touchdown. Boone joined the Chargers last year and started four of 13 games played.

Jamal Williams
The Chargers continue to make sweeping changes to their roster by releasing Pro Bowl defensive tackle Jamal Williams.
The longtime heart and soul of the team’s interior defense was let go, joining LaDainian Tomlinson as past featured players hitting the streets.
But unlike Tomlinson, there is a chance Williams could return — but that’s no guarantee.
“This is a difficult time of year and the most difficult part of our job,” general manager A.J. Smith said. “Jamal has been an anchor of our defense for 12 seasons. He’s battled courageously at one of the most punishing positions on the field, and I respect him immensely.”
Williams tore his triceps in last year’s season-opener and landed on IR, wiping out the majority of his season. But it appeared the Chargers were counting on Williams to get healthy and return to shore up a shoddy run defense.

Antonio Cromartie
NEW YORK (AP)—It just got a lot tougher to throw against the New York Jets.
A few hours before the NFL’s free agency period began, the Jets improved their secondary in a big way by agreeing in principle with the San Diego Chargers to acquire talented but troubled cornerback Antonio Cromartie on Thursday night.
The Jets confirmed the deal, but didn’t release specifics—although it is believed to be for a draft pick in 2011.
Cromartie was an All-Pro in 2007 and will team with Darrelle Revis in the Jets’ secondary, making them possibly the best cornerback tandem in the NFL. Cromartie replaces Lito Sheppard, who was released earlier in the day after one disappointing season.
Jamal Williams
The Chargers released 12 year veteran defensive tackle Jamal Williams today in preparation for the start of the 2010 offseason which begins today at 9PM PST.

“This is a difficult time of year and the most difficult part of our job,” said General Manager A.J. Smith. “Jamal has been an anchor of our defense for 12 seasons. He’s battled courageously at one of the most punishing positions on the field, and I respect him immensely.”
The team also released veteran running back Michael Bennett, leaving the roster thin at the running back position.
“We have a plan for the offseason,” said Smith. “It’s a long offseason and we’ll have many options. We’re confident we’ll be able to add strong depth at all positions, including running back.”

Darren Sproles
The San Diego Chargers changed their mind and placed the first- and-third-round tender on running back Darren Sproles on Thursday, the team announced.
A week ago, the team announced that it would not tender Sproles, allowing him to become a free agent. On Thursday, they decided they couldn’t afford to lose Sproles after releasing LaDainian Tomlinson.
Sproles would earn $7.2897 million in 2010 if he signs the tender. The Chargers would have seven days to match an offer if a team tries to sign him. If it doesn’t match, San Diego would receive a first and a third-round draft choice from the team that signs him.

Darren Sproles
SAN DIEGO (AP)—First LaDainian Tomlinson, and now Darren Sproles.
The San Diego Chargers have decided not to tender a contract to Sproles, allowing the speedy running back to test the free agent market, a person with knowledge of the situation said Friday.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the team hasn’t made an official announcement.
The move came four days after the team released Tomlinson, who ranks eighth on the all-time rushing list with 12,490 yards.
