osgood demands trade

Kassim Osgood has asked the San Diego Chargers to trade him.
And I understand why.
No doubt, the Chargers and Osgood, a former North Salinas product, have been a good fit for five years.
Osgood has quietly accepted his role as a special teams demon, making two Pro Bowl appearances, the only athlete from Monterey County to achieve that.
But the 6-foot-5 Osgood believes he can be an NFL receiver. Over the last two years, he has grown increasingly frustrated with his lack of playing time as a receiver.
Remember, Osgood caught 112 passes as a senior at San Diego State. He's blessed with good hands and deceptive speed.
Osgood had four touchdown catches during his first two years with the Chargers, zero since.
While being in San Diego has enabled Osgood to peruse and acting career, he believes he's an NFL receiver.
I agree.
But time is running out.
San Diego is a great organization to be a part off. They're a Super Bowl contender. And Osgood is active in the community.
A change of scenery, though, may be the only way he sees the field as a receiver
