Chargers want to keep Philip Rivers long term, but does he want to be there?
The San Diego Chargers seem to be really trying to make things right with Philip Rivers. Now their GM Tom Telesco is saying that the former first round pick is in their long term plans.
“There really is no update,” general manager Tom Telesco said Wednesday. “It’s the same thing I’ve said for the last four months, Philip’s our quarterback and it’s our plan and intent that he’s our quarterback well into the future.
“In all my discussions with him, he’s shown a great amount of respect for his teammates and a great amount of respect for this organization. He’s been here every day working extremely hard working with his teammates being the leader that he is…I know he’s really excited about this season, as are we, and we move from there.”
The only problem remains is whether or not Rivers wants to remain a Charger?
