The Los Angeles Chargers entered the offseason hoping to have a resolution on quarterback Philip Rivers prior to free agency. The team has now made that decision. On Monday, the Chargers announced that their longtime starting quarterback will enter free agency, ending his tenure with the organization after 16 seasons.
"After stepping back a bit from last season, we reconnected with Philip and his representatives to look at how 2019 played out, assess our future goals, evaluate the current state of the roster and see if there was a path forward that made sense for both parties," general manager Tom Telesco said in a team statement. "As we talked through various scenarios, it became apparent that it would be best for Philip and the Chargers to turn the page on what has truly been a remarkable run."
In the same statement, Rivers expressed gratitude for his time in the Chargers organization.
"I never took for granted the opportunity to lead this team out on to the field for 235 games," Rivers said. "We had a lot of great moments, beginning in San Diego and then finishing in LA. I wish my teammates and coaches nothing but the best moving forward."

Agree. He seems to be a Fran Tarkington though, who is “just good enough,” but never seems to get the team over the hump.
Giants won’t go for him. Too much invested in Danny Dimes. Dallas has a big decision, cuz Dak is good, but not worth $40m. Maybe Denver? Don’t see the Titans giving up on the guy who got them to the conference final. In reality, he’d be a good fit with da Bears, but will they admit their mistake?
