Chris Chambers waived by Chargers

In 2007, the San Diego Chargers gave up a second-round pick (to the Miami Dolphins) for receiver Chris Chambers. The Dolphins, in turn, used that pick (in 2008) to draft quarterback Chad Henne.

Today the Chargers gave up on Chambers and released him, per Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune.

Despite 31 targets, Chambers has only nine receptions (including one Sunday) this season.

Chambers was benched in favor of Malcolm Floyd, who had two receptions for 60 yards against the Raiders.

If someone picks Chambers up on waivers, they will be required to pay him the remaining balance of his $4.55 base salary, which is $2.4 million as noted by Pro Football Talk.

ESPN's Adam Schefter named the Dolphins and the Ravens as potential teams to put in a waiver claim for Chambers.
