Chargers Sign Matthews: 5 years, $25 Million

A rarity for the Chargers...their first round pick in this past draft, runningback Ryan Matthews, has signed a 5 year, $25 million contract. I can not recall the last time the Chargers had their first round pick signed before the preseason...but with Vincent Jackson and Marcus McNeil holding out, the Chargers probably need to sign someone to prove that they aren't totally cheap and willing to spend some dough...reasonably...
