LOS ANGELES -- Eight-time Pro Bowl quarterback Philip Rivers announced Monday he is retiring from the NFL as a Charger in an emotional video posted by the team to social media.
Rivers has been retired since his final season with the Indianapolis Colts in 2020, but made clear in Monday's announcement: "I'm retiring a Charger."
Rivers, who played 16 seasons with the Chargers, holds team records in every major category. He won 137 career games -- No. 2 among quarterbacks without a Super Bowl ring and 10th all-time.
"I think gratitude really is the first thing that comes to mind," Rivers said in the video.
