Ex-Eagles Jon Runyan finally got an NFL gig, signing a one-year deal with the San Diego Chargers. The New Jersey still plans on running for Congress, however, as a Republican.
"Win or lose, these will be my final games as an NFL player," Runyan said in a statement. " I personally informed the Republican county chairmen . . . that after the season is over I plan to officially retire from football and pursue a campaign for the United States Congress."
Runyan plans to challenge Democratic Rep. John Adler next year in New Jersey's 3d Congressional District, a traditional Republican stronghold.
"I look forward to a successful end to my career on the field, and a spirited campaign against Congressman Adler in 2010."
