LaDainian Tomlinson says he believes he has played his last game with the San Diego Chargers.
The running back told The San Diego Union-Tribune on Thursday that he has thought for a while he would be let go by the Chargers.
His comments come after more than a month of saying he did not know what would happen.
The NFL’s most valuable player in 2006 has two years remaining on his contract. He is due a $2 million roster bonus March 5 and would be paid $5 million in total salary in 2010.
Tomlinson tells the newspaper he doesn’t know when the Chargers will release him and that his agent, Tom Condon, might call the club to expedite the process.
Condon didn’t immediately respond to a phone message from the AP.
“All discussions about the future will take place later this month. No decisions have been made,” Chargers spokesman Bill Johnston wrote in an email to The Associated Press.
Tomlinson has become one of the most beloved athletes in San Diego history during a nine-year career but his production and speed have been decreasing.

LaDainian Tomlinson was back at practice for the first time since spraining his right ankle during the opener, an encouraging sign for a Chargers team struggling to run the ball.
Tomlinson said yesterday he hopes he can play in Sunday night’s game at Pittsburgh, where the Chargers haven’t won since shocking the Steelers in the AFC championship game following the 1994 season.
Tomlinson missed the last two games with the ankle injury, an absence that coincided with the Chargers struggling not only in the running game, but when they had the ball inside the opponent’s 20.

The Chargers are inching closer to playing the Baltimore Ravens without three key offensive starters.
Running back LaDainian Tomlinson, center Nick Hardwick and right guard Louis Vasquez all missed their second consecutive practice Thursday, decreasing the chance they’ll play against the vaunted Baltimore defense in San Diego’s home opener.
Hardwick and Tomlinson have sprained ankles, and Vasquez is nursing a sprained knee. On Friday, the Chargers will officially update the players’ status for Sunday’s game.
“The odds go against you,” coach Norv Turner said. “The guys that practice today have a better chance. For the other guys, their chances go down.”
