Philip Rivers and Chargers still discussing new contract

After a few statements yesterday it looked like contract talks between Rivers and the Chargers had fizzled out, according to Jason Cole, that may not be the case.

During the press conference following the first day of training camp yesterday, Philip Rivers deflected contract questions and general manager Tom Telesco made a pretty strong statement about focusing on the now and not worrying about 2016 or beyond. All of this lead to the feeling that contract talks between Rivers and the team had pretty much fizzled out and Rivers would be "playing out the season" as he said he would throughout the offseason.
