The Facts: Rivers isn’t contemplating retirement anymore. But he also isn’t thinking about a contract extension with the Chargers. Asked on Tuesday if he thinks he will play his current contract out rather than agreeing to extend the deal that ends after the upcoming season, Rivers said, “Yes.” Asked if he envisioned any circumstance causing him to reconsider, he said, “Honestly, nothing.”

Diehards Line:According to SDUT's Kevin Acee, the QB remains interested in seeing how the roster is built and has an eye on the stadium issue. Rivers doesn’t rule out playing in Los Angeles should the Chargers move there, but it's probably not his preference. ... Meanwhile, Rivers, who turned 33 in December, heads into the first offseason in which his long-term status is unresolved. His current deal was initiated in 2009, prior to the final year of his rookie contract. GM Tom Telesco said on Dec. 31 that, “We are committed to making sure Philip retires as a Charger, and we will address that at the appropriate time.” However, there have been no talks between the team and Rivers. The team could conceivably place a franchise tag on Rivers next offseason.
