The Chargers wanted to re-sign fullback Mike Tolbert, but in reality they never had a chance. Tolbert took $1 million less to sign with the Panthers so that he could return to the South and raise his daughter there. "I just wanted to raise my daughter in the South," the native of Douglasville, Georgia said. "I just think this is a better place to raise a family." Tolbert signed a four-year, $10 million contract that included $4.2 million in guarantees with Carolina.
