Column: Philip Rivers says family move from San Diego to Florida is ‘permanent’

San Diegans have lost a famous neighbor.

Philip Rivers has moved “permanently” from San Diego to Florida to be closer to his family, the free-agent quarterback texted to ESPN on Sunday morning.

“What this means football-wise is to be determined but it was time for us to move back closer to home,” Rivers said in the text, reported Adam Schefter and Chris Mortensen.

While Rivers had said many times he planned to move to or near the Alabama town where he and wife Tiffany grew up after he retired from the NFL, the move now will uproot his nine children, the oldest of which is beginning college this year.
