Just hours after tight end Kellen Winslow announced that he had reached a settlement with the San Diego Chargers on his 1988 salary, the club said it had put Winslow, 30, on the reserve-retired list.

The Chargers had suspended Winslow in late August in a dispute over whether Winslow was healthy enough to play. Winslow said his knee had deteriorated so that he could no longer get into or out of a three-point stance. But he said the Chargers still owed him the full amount of his guaranteed 1988 base salary of $795,000.

The Chargers insisted that he was fit enough to play. They reportedly offered him half of $795,000 if he would retire. He refused, and they suspended him.

Neither Winslow nor the Chargers would reveal details of the settlement.
