Rumor Only - But Something worth Talking About

[gakonline]

First off, I am lurking on the boards everyday but rarely post anything. After searching the forums on this topic I thought this would be a good time to start a new post.

I heard this rumor from a guy a work in regards to Cowher coming to coach the Panthers next year (we hear this rumor every day), but also bringing Phillip Rivers with him. He claimed Rivers contract is running out in San Diego and Cowher is going to bring him back to his home state of NC.

I am sure this is 99.9% untrue but something to think about.

why would san diego EVER let him go?! hes gunna shatter marinos single season yard record this year, with random, no-name WRs

Rivers signed a contract in August 2009:

8/24/2009: Signed a seven-year, $98.25 million contract. The deal contains $38.15 million guaranteed, including a $19.55 million signing bonus and Rivers' 2009-2010 base salaries. $6 million of Rivers' 2011 salary is guaranteed for injury, but not skill or performance.

2010: $6.6 million (+ $6 million option bonus)

2011: $8.4 million

2012: $10.2 million

2013: $12 million

2014: $13.8 million

2015: $15.75 million

2016: Free Agent

Looking at this contract, I can honestly say (new CBA notwithstanding) that Philip Rivers isn't going anywhere until after the 2012 season, at least. Down the road this deal will get restructured to spread out the money currently due from 2013 - 2015 to keep him in San Diego.

lol stupidest thread ever.

A) Rivers is from Alabama

To get him we would have to give San Diego something close to this : 1st round pick, 3rd round pick, 4th round pick, Jimmy Clausen, DeAngelo Williams, Jordan Gross, Steve Smith, Jon Beason

Pretty simply, aint gonna happen

This is hilarious.

Rivers will retire a Charger. He is the best QB in the NFL not named Manning.

the title of this thread is misleading.

this is not worth talking about.
