The Chargers could trade Philip Rivers from haoxiuyun's blog

In the last week, Bill Barnwell of Mut 23 coins ESPN discussed how in the lottery-like draft "the most effective strategy is to buy more tickets." The RG3 trade was perhaps the best illustration of that in the past, but losers of that trade appear to be ignorant of that principle. Perhaps it will work but the Rams should know better.

The Chargers could trade Philip Rivers, but they'd likely make a mistake too. LaDainian Tomlinson thinks the Chargers should trade Philip Rivers. He believes the Chargers are in rebuilding mode and they should sell Philip Rivers instead of ruin the rest of his career. Can that be considered realistic?

It makes some sense at first glance. The Chargers have been, yet again absolutely a disaster, losing three games , in painful manner after blowing 4th-quarter leads. Rivers doesn't contribute to the issue. He's completing 68 percent of the passes he throws, 7.8 yards per pass, has 1.110 yards, seven touchdowns and just one interception.

The Chargers signed Rivers to a four-year renewal worth $83 million last year, but it's the nature of his contract does not make it a prohibitive option to trade him. The cap-to-cap hit won't exceed $22 million until the end of the year, so it's possible for a team to wiggle out of after 2018.

But then again, the Chargers really, really need as much support from their fans as they can ... something that they're not getting much of after suffering so much losses recently, the Bosa standoff, and the thing about cheap madden nfl 23 coins alienating fans through the relocation.
