Although it is still a rumor-like message on a reporter’s Twitter page, it just sounds likely that the San Diego Chargers cornerback Antonio Cromartie will soon put on the Detroit Lions jersey.
The Chargers have a lot of tough monetary decisions to make before the 2010 season. Releasing running back LaDainian Tomlinson was just the first step. And it’s already no surprise that the Chargers decided not to offer tender to No. 2 running back Darren Sproles. So it may shock us even less if the Chargers really decide to send Cromartie to Lions for some good draft pick.
Without Cromartie, the Chargers still have Antoine Cason to do the starting job well. Getting rid of all those causing financial concerns, the Chargers will feel better while making their effort to bring back offensive tackle Marcus McNeil, wide receivers Vincent Jackson and Malcom Floyd and outside linebacker Shawne Merriman.

CB Cromartie was fined by Chargers for tweeting about nutrition
When the star cornerback Antonio Cromartie was tweeting whether the "nasty food" at training camp has contributed to the team failing to reach the Super Bowl in recent years, he surely did not expect to be fined by the Chargers for that.
But that was what the Chargers did on Tuesday. Coach Norv Turner pulled Cromartie out of a meeting Tuesday and notified him that he was being fined for his Twitter comments. Then Cromartie received a letter that informed of the fine of $2,500.
The Chargers has been using Twitter as a promotional tool. But they have also been worried about what their players have to say on the Web site. That makes players feel that they can not say what they want to say. Coach Turner also told the players not to tweet while they're in the building and not to write messages critical of the organization. On this point, Cromartie's being fined is more like a warning to all players.
