Chris Chambers says that the Chargers didn't release him because of his play on the field. In a conversation with the San Diego Union-Tribune, said he believes that off-field issues led to the decision. "I thought the team gave up on me a little quick ? for factors that don't have to deal with football," Chambers said. "I guess it created a distraction upstairs. I kept my head on straight. We all go through things. I did my best to not have my personal life and football clash. They know a little too much of my life, and they used it against me." The wide receiver allegedly had a relationship with a woman that the team believed hampered his performance.
