Wilson: Chargers address Chambers' release

In the wake of San Diego Chargers wide receiver Chris Chambers' abrupt release today, the Chargers have issued a statement about the decision.

And it stems from the Chargers wanting to increase the playing time of Malcom Floyd and Legedu Naanee.

"There are a number of things that went into the decision," coach Norv Turner said. "The reason we're able to do this is the play of Malcom [Floyd] and the way Legedu Naanee is performing.

"Certainly there are a number of other things in terms of our football team that we need to address. Defensively and in the kicking game, we need to get some help."

Chambers' 2009 base salary is $4.55 million. So, any team that wishes to pick up Chambers would owe him roughly $2.4 million for the remainder of the season.

There are a lot of veteran free agent wide receivers looking for jobs, and now their quest for employment just got even tougher.
