Philip Rivers

Rivers has had his name cemented in the annual top-five quarterbacks conversation since he was named the starter in 2006. He was charged with the difficult task of replacing Brees, and he did it fairly well. While Rivers doesn’t have a Super Bowl, he’s been one of the most productive quarterbacks in the NFL throughout his career.

The Chargers finished 2019 with a disappointing 5-11 record. Rivers totaled 4,615 yards, 23 touchdowns, and 20 interceptions in his 16th year. It was very obvious that he had taken a step back.

Now, Rivers and the Chargers have announced they are mutually parting ways. If Rivers continues to play it will be with another organization. The 38-year-old has packed up his family and moved to Florida. That might be an indication of where he’s leaning towards, but he will likely have fewer suitors than the previously mentioned gunslingers.
