The Chargers really have a need for the most support
Tomlinson thinks the Chargers should sell Philip Rivers. The Chargers are in rebuilding MUT 24 Coins mode and they should sell Philip Rivers instead of ruin his entire career. Are they realistic?
It makes some sense at first glance. The Chargers are, as usual an absolute disaster losing three games , in painful fashion by blowing fourth-quarter leads. Rivers isn't a part of the issue. He's getting 68.8% of his passes, 7.8 yards per effort, has 1.110 yards, seven touchdowns and just one interception.
The Chargers signed Rivers to a four-year contract extension valued at $83 million earlier this year, but the structure of the contract doesn't make it especially prohibitive to trade him. The cap-to-cap hit won't exceed $22 million until after the final year, but it's very easy for teams to wiggle out of after 2018.
In reality, the Chargers really have a need for the most support from fans they are able to get ... something they don't have much of after going through so many losses lately including the Bosa protest and that thing about alienating fans through the relocation thing. If they can get rid of Mike McCoy and make the necessary changes in this offseason they could be back in the game sooner than you think. However, that's certainly a major risk for an team that hasn't achieved any good things cheap MUT 24 Coins, in the field or off.
