Running backs also aren’t hard to find, which is why their value in the draft and free agency has plummeted in recent years. Despite the suppressed market, general manager Tom Telesco still decided to make a sizable investment in Brown.
How much a franchise is willing to spend on a player in free agency may indicate a team need, but not always. It could also say something about how the team values the player, the position he plays or both.
Brown just doesn’t fit neatly into any of the normal categories. The Chargers don’t have a significant need, the position isn’t one of great value, and Brown himself isn’t a special talent.
“We know Ryan (Mathews) is our bell cow,” Telesco said via Eric D. Williams of ESPN.com. “He’s our No. 1 back. He had an excellent year last year. And we all know what Danny Woodhead can do in his role. We saw that for 16 games last year. And we think Donald can come in and add to that, too, and give us some different options. And a different style, too. The more weapons we can have for Philip Rivers, the better.”

2. Jamychol Baker had a huge day for the Golden Bears. The senior sprinter won the 100, 200 and 400, and he was a part of the Golden Bears’ 4x400 team won the event in a blazing time of 3:34.85. Munford finished second at 3:47.01.
“It was pretty successful day,” Baker said. “We had a lot of fun. We went from winning the county tournament 10 years in a row, and for the last two years we have lost. That motivated us to come out here and run harder and get where we needed to get. We hosted the tournament, so we said we might as well take the trophy home with us.”
