The Dolphins can't quite figure out who to help win a Super Bowl. First, they sent receiver and special teams ace Wes Welker to the Patriots. And now they've sent Pro Bowl receiver Chris Chambers to the Chargers in exchange for a second-round draft choice.

SAN DIEGO -- The next time Chris Chambers steps into a huddle, his teammates will include LaDainian Tomlinson, Antonio Gates and Philip Rivers.

"Oh man, it's a pleasure," Chambers said after he was traded from the winless Miami Dolphins to the defending AFC West champion San Diego Chargers just before Tuesday's deadline. "It's going to be very interesting. I can't wait to get out there and help this team win and continue to be successful."

Chambers is expected to join the Chargers at practice on Wednesday. The Chargers, 3-3 and tied for the division lead with Kansas City, have their bye this Sunday.

San Diego gave up a 2008 second-round draft pick for Chambers, who will give Rivers a veteran wide receiver to work with and help take the pressure off All-Pros Tomlinson and Gates.

I don't see him being prolific, but what does that say about Jackson and Davis

The tming was off. In season is a bad time to trade for WR's. Its deffintly a sellers market. Near draft time is the best time to do it. D-Jax was had for a 4th.

That bieng said, Chambers was a guy I wanted Dallas to consider. He has alot of talent, but isnt consistant. But he hasnt had a good offence or good QB ever. I think he has #1 potential

well the fact that Chambers has played in Norvs offense a few seasons ago when Turner was in Miami is something that will help Chambers get ready to be an instant impact

in Chambers 6 plus seasons with the Phins he had 10 different QBs, four head coaches and six offensive coordinators.... thats a reason to think that it had more to do with the system or lack of finding a system that worked as opposed to Chambers being inconsistent which his numbers suggest, he still does drop a lot of passes (has 4 this year) but he will add the big play ability and is an obvious upgrade over Vincent Jackson


Darrell Jackson isnt the best example either for mentioning a bargain WR, hes done absolutely nothing this season and is top 5 in the NFC in dropped passes

But Jackson's value would have been higher if he were moved inseason.

Who is their other WR outside of Jackson. Its not Davis is it?

yeah Craig Davis was the #2, not sure if Davis or Jackson will be.... Id imagine they'd want to get Davis in there seeing as they used a #1 on him this past draft

gruntbygod

Just looked up the stats, Davis hasnt done much, 9 catches for 84 yards and a TD. Rookies usually have a long learning curve tho. mabey he needs to be a #3 right now

Chris Chambers is an obvious upgrade

They need someone to spread the field not just Gates and LT, The Chargers have started winning because they've been doing 1 simple thing, giving the ball to LT, I'm dissapointed with this Pro Bowl line but whatever Chambers will help now that he has a QB to throw to him, also with 2 other big playmakers it will help alot.

Lighten up on Buster Davis, give him a few years to flourish.
