Drayton Florence is entering his fifth season with the Chargers, and unless something happens, it will be his last. Florence would only say that no decision would be made at present. His agent, Drew Rosenhaus, has talked with Charger officials, according to Florence. But with nothing decided, it seems Florence has decided to test free agency following the season.

Who?

June 25, 2007  10:26 AM ET

He is Kinda like Roderick Hood....Guy who has lots of talent and no one knows who he is. He is pretty good.

June 25, 2007  11:35 AM ET

Could they have mentioned what position he plays, perhaps.

I've never heard of this kid.

June 25, 2007  11:36 AM ET

CB/KR He has started a lot of games before Cromartie was picked. You really don't hear about San Diego Defensive Backs.

June 25, 2007  11:46 AM ET

We'll take him.... especially if he's good and no one knows yet, then maybe he'll come cheap.

Yeah, niners could use another CB, walt harris is on his last legs.

Florence is an idiot. He lost his head vs the Patriots in the 4th Quarter. He was flagged for a Personal foul on a 3rd down play that was stopped and the Patriots would've had to punt...instead they got four new downs and then they scored.

Cromartie has a ton more upside than Florence. Bye-bye!

Wow.
I love the simplistic vagueness of this article.
In particular, the opening line.
"unless something happens"
Wow. Quite astute.

As a BRONCOS, fan I have seen Florence get burned tons of times, please chargers sign him up long term

Dude sucks. If you cant stay manned up against your WR with the front 7 leading the league in sacks wreaking havoc on QB's then you cant cover for shyte. Our secondary buh-lows. IF AJ the God hasnt locked him up with an extension then its for a reason. All praise be to AJ.

Bolts CBs have left a lot to be desired. I don't know who's worse - Florence or Jammer (remember Reche Caldwell??). All I know is, they better step up, because Merriman, Phillips, et al, can't do everything. Cromartie is still pretty much untested, but he's got great up-side. As of now, if Florence walks, oh well.....

June 26, 2007  02:23 AM ET

well we all saw who his agent is and that is the only reason the story hits here...its a PR move, Rosenhaus proly wrote the release even its just to get his (Florence's) name out there so it will create a buzz...he's a second tier corner at best and most casual fans could give a D@$% who he is... and as a 49ers fan i dont want him i'll take my cahnces with anybody else

Florence blows i hope him and jammer take a drive into san diego harbor. Rosenhaus and his 20 phones tied to his waist can take a dive too.

Yep as a bolt season ticket holder for a very long time our corners have always left something to be desired. Florence lost it in the playoffs and consistely got burned. Let him go and bring in anyone even the ghost of Speedy Duncan
