And there goes Chambers

Thanks to Shorty for the heads up on this one. Espn is reporting that Miami has traded Chris Chambers to the San Diego Chargers but terms of the deal aren't known yet.

So if you're keeping track, Miami has now unloaded its top 3 (Chambers, Wes Welker, Randy McMichael) receivers going back to last season. People will criticize that and even though it looks dumb on the surface, I'm going to give Cam Cameron and his regime time to put their plan in place. You don't turn a team around overnight, so give these guys time before we start calling them out on some of these decisions.

I liked the fact that they were cleaning house and starting over and I'm going to stick with that mentality. And this is what I hinted at after Chambers was got his DWI back in July. Being a veteran doesn't make your job safe with Cameron, as he has been overhauling this roster since he's been hired.

Either way, I think it's a trade that will help both teams. The Chargers get a valid # 1 receiver to go along with Tomlinson and Gates. Chambers gets to play on a contender and Miami gets what it desperately needs and that is draft picks.

Besides, this might even lead to more playing time for Ted Ginn..something that will also go along way in his development as the next # 1 receiver on this team.
