It was officially reported that the Los Angeles Chargers would be parting ways with QB Philip Rivers and that Rivers would be permanently moving to Florida earlier this week.
Of course, this is no news to Buccaneers fans who have been hearing rumors and updates for several weeks (in some cases months) now, but it did officially open up some discussion and speculation as to what Rivers’ next step will be.
Whether directly or indirectly, this move will absolutely affect the Buccaneers moving forward.
Directly
There are plenty of rumors currently that Rivers could replace Jameis Winston at quarterback for Tampa Bay and serve as a ‘bridge’ for the Buccaneers- who could take a chance on developing a QB for the future through the draft.
