LaDainian Tomlinson says he believes he has played his last game as a San Diego Charger.

Thursday, the running back told The San Diego Union-Tribune that he has thought for a while he would be let go by the Chargers.

His comments come after more than a month of saying he did not know what would happen.

The NFL's most valuable player in 2006 has two years remaining on his contract. He is due a $2 million roster bonus March 5 and would be paid $5 million in total salary in 2010.

Tomlinson told the newspaper he doesn't know when the Chargers will release him and that his agent, Tom Condon, might call the club to expedite the process.

Condon didn't immediately respond to a phone message from the AP.

"All discussions about the future will take place later this month. No decisions have been made," Chargers spokesman Bill Johnston wrote in an email to The Associated Press.

Tomlinson has become one of the most beloved athletes in San Diego history during a nine-year career but his production and speed have been decreasing.

George Edwards' tenure as the Florida Gators' defensive coordinator sure didn't last long.

Philadelphia hired former Browns general manager Phil Savage as a player personnel consultant for the April draft. Savage will work with new GM Howie Roseman and director of player personnel Ryan Grigson. He'll concentrate on evaluating draft prospects in the Southeast. Savage spent four seasons as Cleveland's senior vice president and GM.

Jacksonville filled vacancies by hiring tight ends coach Rob Boras, running backs coach Earnest Byner, assistant defensive line coach Ben Albert and offensive staff assistants Matt Griffin and Ron Heller. Boras spent the past six seasons as Chicago's tight ends coach, and Byner worked the past two years as running backs coach for Tennessee.

San Francisco hired Ray Brown as assistant offensive line coach. Brown served the past two seasons as assistant offensive line coach for the Buffalo Bills.
