The newest member of the Marcus Mariota chase came out of nowhere really. It looked like the San Diego Chargers were in no immediate need at quarterback. That changed though when word broke Philip Rivers intended to play out his contract without signing an extension. Word is he has no desire to play in Los Angeles where the Chargers have been linked to for months. This might compel them to move him out while his value is still high. Better still he has ties to Whisenhunt as the two were together in 2013 as quarterback and offensive coordinator.
Price Tag: Rivers, #17 pick, 1st in 2016, and a 2nd
