There’s been some chatter of quarterback Tom Brady joining the Los Angeles Chargers for weeks now.
While some fans are in favor of the excitement that Brady could bring when the team moves into their new stadium, there’s a handful that don’t buy it, including former Chargers linebacker Shawne Merriman.

“Everybody stop right now. All right? Tom Brady isn’t coming to the Chargers,” Merriman said via his official Twitter account.
Merriman believes that L.A. shouldn’t move on from Philip Rivers, and proceeds to say that if the franchise does cut ties with him, they will be looking to get younger at the quarterback position.
We concur with Merriman. Though the 42-year old would likely sell some tickets in SoFi Stadium, the team is better off rolling with Rivers for another year or even Tyrod Taylor to serve as a bridge to the potential rookie quarterback.
