The Chargers could trade Philip Rivers

The Chargers could trade Philip Rivers, but they'd likely screw it up, too. LaDainian Tomlinson says the Chargers should sell Philip Rivers.

Last week, Bill Barnwell of Mut 23 coins ESPN detailed how in the lottery-like draft "the smartest strategy is simply to get many more lottery tickets." The RG3 trade was possibly one of the most effective examples of this of all time, yet the winners of the trade seem to be ignorant of that fact. Maybe it will work out but the Rams should know better.

The Chargers could trade Philip Rivers, but they'd likely screw it up, too. LaDainian Tomlinson says the Chargers should sell Philip Rivers. The Chargers are in rebuilding mode and should consider trading Philip Rivers instead of ruin his entire career. Is that realistic?

It's all very sensible at first glance. The Chargers are, again absolutely a disaster, having lost three games in agonizing way after blowing leads in the fourth quarter. Rivers isn't part of the problem. He's getting 68.8% of passes. He averages 7.8 yards per effort, has 1.110 yards, seven touchdowns, and only one interception.

The Chargers signed Rivers to a four-year extension of $83 million in the year, however his structure in the contract isn't prohibitive for trading him. The cap isn't set to exceed $22 million until the end of the year, so it's very easy for teams to be able to get rid of it after the year 2018.

Then again, the Chargers really have a need for every bit of support they are able to get ... which they're lacking after going through so many losses lately including the Bosa holdout and that entire threatening fans to leave the team by relocation. If they could get rid of Mike McCoy and make the right kind of buy madden nfl 23 coins moves in the offseasonperiod, they could be competitive in the near future, sooner than you imagine.
