Recently, reports have emerged that the Chargers are looking to trade cornerback Antonio Cromartie.
We can’t blame them. Apart from the off-field issues that bubble up from time to time, Cromartie’s performance has dipped.
And as we all saw during the AFC division-round game between the Chargers and the Jets, there’s a real question as to whether Cromartie was trying to tackle the opposing ball carrier on two key plays during the upset loss. (Even Rickey Henderson thought Cromartie was “jaking it.”)
Thus, as Peter King of SI.com pointed out earlier today, anyone who trades for Cromartie is trading for a “sack of problems.”
Some might describe “Cro” as a “sack” of something else.
