Highest Tender for Chargers' McNeil

Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports that it looks as though the San Diego Chargers will use the highest restricted free agent tender on left tackle Marcus McNeil.

McNeil (6-7, 336) was the team's second-round pick (50th overall) out of Auburn in 2006, and he's started all 62 games he's played.

As a player with four accrued seasons, McNeil's tender is worth $3.168 million dollars and comes with the first- and third-round draft pick compensation. McNeil was named to the AFC's Pro Bowl team after the 2006 and 2007 seasons.
