Chargers Claim Bennett Off Waivers

The San Diego Chargers claimed ex-Tampa Bay running back Michael Bennett off waivers. Bennett was released by the Buccaneers yesterday, to clear a roster spot for Cadillac Williams.

The biggest killer is that the Chargers stole Bennett right from under the desperate, division leading Denver Broncos nose. Denver - who has had to place their top 4 running backs on IR - was the only other team to put in a claim for the back.

L.T. has been unimpressive this season, but I didn't think the Chargers were in need of help. I'm wondering if they didn't claim Bennett just to spit their AFC West rivals.
