Stay or go? Decision now in LT's hands

It's been almost two weeks since the Chargers and LaDainian Tomlinson's agent began the back and forth of a contract restructure for the iconic running back.
The back and forth is finished.
This is up to Tomlinson now. It's a matter of whether he wants to play for less money in San Diego.
Information is coming in this saga like water from a drippy faucet. But my understanding is that Tomlinson has the Chargers' final offer.
That offer could be for two years or three years. Whatever it is, it will be for less money than the $24 million he is scheduled to make by 2011. What form the new money takes (signing bonus, roster bonus, incentives) is not known.
We heard Thursday on 1090-AM from Tomlinson's mother that it's not promising Tomlinson will remain a Charger. Even before that, every indication I had gotten privately from those who know Tomlinson was that he was gone.
What does that mean? I have no confidence that I know.
But we do know that at this point it's up to him whether he wants to stay and play for less money.

So who knows where LT will be next season
