Amid talks of a potential blockbuster deal that would involve ESPN acquiring Sunday Night Football announcer Al Michaels comes more news from the New York Post that ESPN is "showing interest" in Philip Rivers' joining the network's NFL coverage.

Rivers, 38, will become a free agent March 18 after the Los Angeles Chargers announced they were moving on from their long-time quarterback in February. Should the eight-time Pro Bowler fail to find the contract he's looking for this offseason, he may receive an offer to join the ESPN booth.
