The Chargers will announce this afternoon that they have released former Pro Bowl defensive end Marcellus Wiley.
Coach Marty Schottenheimer informed Wiley of the decision late this morning, saying the team believed it was time to move in another direction.
Wiley was the team's marquee free-agent signing in 2001, when he agreed to a potential $40 million deal that included a $9 million signing bonus. But since recording 13 sacks in 14 games and going to the Pro Bowl at the end of that season, he has totalled only nine sacks the past two seasons.
