Chargers Gab

While talking to Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribuneyesterday, Philip Rivers had a few choice words for former Charger running back LaDainian Tomlinson.
“I don’t know how everyone feels or if they felt it,” said Rivers. “Maybe it was a little bit of a relief. Maybe it was a feeling of, ‘I can do a [...]

Apparently, Philip Rivers didn’t need to talk to a scout, buy a magazine, or look up stats deep down in the depths of the world wide web to give running back Ryan Mathews a look when his name was called during the Chargers’ first round pick of the 2010 NFL Draft. According to Pro Football Talk, Rivers did his [...]

Philip Rivers that despite the issues with the Chargers and some off season moves, the team is still thinking about winning the AFC West and going a long way into January and hopefully February once the season starts:

Not to mention a head coach in Rex Ryan that has his team [...]

As most of the highly seeded teams in both conferences have been doing, the San Diego Chargers gave their starters limited action on the football field, giving way to the reserves. During Sunday’s game between the Chargers and Washington Redskins, some rarely used players saw some appreciable playing time, including Chargers quarterback Billy Volek, running [...]

The Denver Broncos seem to be handicapped at the quarterback position – both figuratively and literally – as normal starter Kyle Orton has a bum ankle while reserve Chris Simms is, for a better choice of words, rusty, due to inactivity. As both teams met Sunday afternoon at Invesco Field at Mile High, the Chargers [...]

The Chargers have made QB Philip Rivers a very rich man, as today the team rewarded him with a whopping six-year deal worth $92 million according to reports. Rivers is coming off his best season, when he set a team record for touchdown passes with a league-high 34. He also led the NFL with [...]

ESPN reports that it a deal for Philip Rivers doesn’t look likely to happen anytime soon:
Philip Rivers is entering the final year of his contract, but no extension is imminent in San Diego and the Chargers haven’t discussed an extension with their quarterback much. Eli Manning, taken within three picks of Rivers in the 2004 [...]
