Rumor Only - But Something worth Talking About

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.

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.

A) Rivers is from Alabama

B) 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

I'd do that minus Beason

      I'd hold on to Walker - we have no OT depth at all. Freeling is a block of clay - all the tools are there and he appears to have a great attitude. He needs serious work on his technique to realise his potential though.

      From my watch last night: They weren't trading out of 19 unless it was a daft offer once Freeling got there. They were clearly antsy to get Hunter - and Minnesota actually called to offer the trade down. They weren't trading out of the third round pick once Brazzell fell to it (and Canales would have been happy with him in the second round). They traded back a lot on Day 3 - even if Morgan 'Babe Ruth'd' it with Lee, Hecht and Wheatley; they clearly weren't the only guys they would have taken at those picks. I'm curious to know which player caused the reaction at the start of day 2 (Dan Morgan): "of course they'd pick him"

      Watching this confirms that this staff and front office is super high on Monroe Freeling. I wouldn't be surprised if he's gotta a real chance to win the starting LT job in camp. If he does, we can look to flip Rasheed Walker to a contender desperate for tackle help.   As for Ickey I still really like him and wanna extend him but based on how the staff was talking about Freeling it might be time for ickey to start taking some practice sets at guard if he wants to stay here as we are gonna have to have figure out a solution for the contracts of Lewis and Hunt.  My preferred scenario for the Oline in 2027 is Freeling-Ickey-Hech-Lewis-Moton.
