In 2007, Antonio Cromartie unseated Drayton Florence as the starting right cornerback for the San Diego Chargers and finished the season with 10 interceptions. Now, it appears the Florence could replace Cromartie according to the San Diego Union Tribune.
The report, citing league sources, indicated the Chargers will put Cromartie on the trading block if they can sign Florence as a free agent. Florence is also being courted by the Buffalo Bills.
Cromartie's Pro Bowl campaign in 2007 convinced the Chargers to allow Florence to leave via free agency. He signed a six-year, $36 million contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars. But he was released last month and, according to the report, notified the Chargers through his agent he would like to return. The sides are talking now, and a deal could be in place this week.
Cromartie suffered a serious slide in production in 2008. He injured his hip in the season opener — which he later called a fracture — and had just two interceptions. If he is not traded, 2009 is considered a make-or-break year for him with the Chargers.
