Philip Rivers’ time with the Los Angeles Chargers may be coming to an end this month — sooner than many, including Rivers himself, expected.
Rivers, an eight-time Pro Bowler who has spent his entire career with the Chargers organization, is currently in the final year of a four-year, $83 million deal he signed before the 2015 season.
After a poor season from both Rivers and the team as a whole, however, it’s plausible that the Chargers could decide to move away from Rivers and embrace a new quarterback.
Though Rivers has said he wants to return for another season in 2020 — which will mark the first in SoFi Stadium, the massive new Inglewood stadium that the Chargers will share with the Rams starting in 2020 — the 38-year-old knows it’s not necessarily up to him.
