With the announcement on Wednesday that Eli Manning is retiring, it feels even more probable, even irrationally, that 2004 draft class and trade-mate Philip Rivers will also be making a huge change in his football career. That change of course being that Rivers will no longer be playing for the Chargers organization. It is of course possible that Rivers returns, but it seems as though both parties are ready for change.
But how much change are the Chargers ready for and would it include getting five years older at the position in 2020?
