The Facts:
We continue to hear rumors from media sources of a possible trade of Turner to the Green Bay Packers. Turner is a highly-regarded backup to NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson. But the reality for the Chargers is that, if he plays for the team in 2007, he'll be completely unrestricted in 2008.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As PFT's Mike Florio noted, the Chargers tendered Turner, a restricted free agent, at the highest possible level. Signing him to an offer sheet would subject his team to the sacrifice of a first-round pick and a third-round pick in next month's draft. A trade, however, much like Houston's deal for another highly-tendered RFA, Matt Schaub, clearly isn't outside the realm of possibility. The Packers certainly have a need. The only other RBs with experience on the roster are Vernand Morency and Noah Herron. ... Stay tuned. We're still in the rumor stage here, but the situation bears watching.
