QB Phillip Rivers has signed a 6 year extention with the San Diego Chargers worth $92 million and $38.5 million guaranteed. As a Charger fan I am extremely excited about this, I am glad that we got this taken care of early so that it doesn't weigh on our team through-out the season. Phillip Rivers came out of the 2004 draft class and is the only QB drafted in the early first round to not win a superbowl yet (Eli - NY Giants, Roethlisber - Steelers) but that doesn't mean that he doesn't deserve it. He has become a team leader on a team that is filled with talent and a lot of potential. Last year he led the league in passer rating and broke a few Charger records. Since he has become the starter we have tied our old total for playoff wins and transformed our offense into a machine. I know I know.....he is a huge trash talker and rubs people the wrong way, but as a Charger fan I fully support his passion and attitude towards the game. He has been a class act in the locker room and in the community and I will take that kind of fiery player any day.
Let's get a couple of our other players with expriring contracts(Sproles, Gates, Merriman, McNeil, Chambers, and Cromartie) signed and we should be able to compete for many years to come. Rivers as our QB will help alot. San Diego seems to do a good job of taking care of their own so I am not really word about it. Let's just go out and show the league why our players deserve it.
