Allegedly the Bronco's are interested in Rivers...They just had one of the Bronco beat writers on with Judson Richards and they were talking about Mr. Horse Face a.k.a John Elway wanting to find a way to get Rivers into a Bronco's uniform . I know this doesn't have any Legs but I find it funny that this would ever be even a rumor

If the team moves to LA next year and Rivers really doesn't want to go AND we didn't tag him, I suppose he could sign with them. It does make sense from the Broncos point of view as Manning will retire after this season and they need a QB. I mean, would anyone really want Osweiler over Rivers?

One of the mock draft guys on the CBS web site was proposing a trade of Rivers for the Jets #6 whereby we traded draft picks, and ended up with a 2nd. IOW, we get Mariota, dump River's contract, Jets get #17, a and we pick up the Jet's 2nd round pick. I'd have a problem not taking that.

Getting raped by the Jets then putting a rookie QB into a position to struggle? Doesn't sound like a great plan to me.
If the Raiders gave a high 1st and a 2nd to get Palmer, who wan't playing near as well, how are we getting value for Rivers with JUST the #6 pick. Particularly since he is a bargain in terms of his cap figure this season (only about $15 mill).
If Mariotta is going to come in an be successful right away, we need a more OL help (vet help) and improved D. You can't ask a rookie QB to come in and tart if they have to throw 40-50 times a game with no OL and have to score a lot of point.
We can keep River and have the type of team that can win now. Use our top pick to step up our OL, and outside pass rush, then if we need to we can afford to put points on the board and make teams keep up with our offense. Yeah, we need the OL to play better and get a running game going, but if the blocking is there the running game will take enough pressure off of Rivers.Last edited by Steve; 04-04-2015, 10:50 AM.

Food for thought: maybe somebody inside the Chargers org is starting these rumors as a way of getting Rivers to the bargaining table now on his new contract? He said he was in no hurry and was implying he would not want to relocate to LA with the team- and I'm sure he would have a worse time of it if the team traded him to NY or some other shitty city for raising kids.
Another possibility is the team "drafting for the future" and knowing they will tank this season- which would help grease the skids for an exit to LA where they start fresh with an exciting new QB and new identity????Life is too short to drink cheap beer :beer:

Historically, the Chargers are not in a hurry to get guys to re-up. Traditionally, unless a contract i expiring, the Chargers will not start to negotiate extensions until after our rookies are signed. It used to be that was after the start of TC, but now that is more like the middle of the summer, since draft pick usually are signed in May.
