The Facts: According to Jay Glazer, appearing on Fox’s “The Herd,” the Los Angeles Chargers have “moved on” from Rivers. Nothing is official, but the report indicates that the Chargers will have a different starting quarterback in 2020. Reported by the Redzone.org

Diehards Line: Rivers, who turned 38 in December, previously announced he was moving his family out of California and closer to home in Florida. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are among the teams that could be interested in his services. Rivers played 228 games for the franchise between 2004 and 2019, completing 4,908 of his 7,591 pass attempts (64.7 percent) for a franchise-record 59,271 yards with 397 TDs and 198 interceptions. The Chargers own the No. 6 overall pick in the 2020 NFL draft and could seek to pick Rivers’ successor there. They also could be interested in a veteran QB such as Tom Brady if he became available. But for now, Tyrod Taylor remains next man up at quarterback for the Chargers.

The Facts: Kittle injured his right shoulder in a 2018 preseason game. He refuses to get it fixed. The 49ers tight end revealed on Pardon My Take podcast that he has played the past two seasons with a torn labrum, which is why he wears a gray protective sleeve. “So I dislocated my shoulder last year,” Kittle said, “and my labrum is completely torn. So I don’t get surgery on it — [The protective sleeve] basically helps me, so it doesn’t hurt all the time.” Reported by Profootballtalk.com

Diehards Line: Kittle missed two regular-season games in 2019 with ankle and knee injuries. He played 88 percent of the snaps in 2018 and 76 percent in 14 games this season. He said there’s “no chance” he gets surgery on his shoulder. “I can’t miss those workout days, man,” Kittle said. As PFT's Charean Williams notes, Cowboys defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence played with a torn labrum for two seasons but finally had surgery to repair it. Kittle, 26, is eligible for a new contract and has earned a big pay day with two Pro Bowls and an All-Pro in his three seasons.

The Facts: Following up on the previous item. ... Hunt admitted to Rocky River Police that he would’ve failed a drug test if it were administered during his stop for speeding on Tuesday, and police also found a bottle of vodka in the car with the seal broken, according to dashcam video obtained by the Plain Dealer. “Man, I’ve been through a lot,” says Hunt, who appears to be crying. “Officer, I’ve been through a lot.” Reported by the Cleveland Plain Dealer

Diehards Line: The Browns, who have been gathering more information since the traffic stop last week, did not immediately have a comment now that the video is out. The NFL said last week that they were aware of the situation but declined further comment. Hunt, suspended for the first eight games of last season for two physical altercations including one involving a woman, added in the video, “I just, it stresses me out. I lost everything already, sir. I’m just trying to be in my hometown and chill.” Now Hunt is back on the NFL’s radar after police found a small amount of weed in his car. A Rocky River Police Department public information officer told Plain Dealer that Hunt wasn’t charged with possession because he was found with less than a gram of marijuana. Hunt, 24, is due to become a restricted free agent in March.

The Facts: It didn’t take much for McCaffrey to develop a bond with new OC Joe Brady. “I found out he was a fan of ‘The Office,’" said McCaffrey, referring to the TV series. “He’s got a fresh [hair] cut. That about sold it for me. I was, ‘I think we’re going to get along just fine.’" Brady is set to be the NFL's youngest offensive coordinator at age 30. The general inexperience doesn’t concern McCaffrey. “You see rookies come into the NFL all the time and have great years and they have zero experience in the NFL," McCaffrey told ESPN.com before leaving for the Super Bowl in Miami, where on Friday he will present two game tickets to Sergeant Major Luis Leiva as part of USAA’s Salute to Service program. “It can be the same with a coach." Reported by ESPN.com

Diehards Line: New HC Matt Rhule's complete staff hasn’t been announced, but based on names reported, it will be the first year in the league for at least six coaches. The top three spots definitely rank as the league’s least experienced with Rhule, Brady and DC Phil Snow combining for seven years of NFL experience, none as a head coach or coordinator. McCaffrey, 23, doesn’t believe age or experience will hold any of the new staff members back, particularly Brady. “He’s had great people to learn from," McCaffrey said, referring to Brady’s time at New Orleans with head coach Sean Payton and quarterback Drew Brees. “This league is changing and developing. It needs new minds to figure out different ways to put players in the best position to succeed. When you look at the guys that have done that over the last year, he’s at the forefront of it." Adaptability also is key. McCaffrey has observed that with Brady. “He’s able to utilize not just me, but everybody," he said. “And put everybody in a position they can best help the team win. That’s something that’s not easy to do. It’s not one system. It’s a constant changing. You look at what he did with the LSU program this year, possibly the greatest college team of all times. It was fun to watch as an outsider before I knew he was our coach. Now that I know he is [the Panthers' coach], I’m extremely excited. ..." We'll be watching for more on Brady's plan for McCaffrey in coming weeks.

The Facts: Drew Brees has not yet decided whether to retire. If he chooses to stay, the Saints will welcome him back with open arms. But the Saints also believe that in Hill, they have their quarterback of the future already on the roster. Jay Glazer of FOX Sports reported today that Saints coach Sean Payton believes that Hill is ready to become the Saints’ franchise quarterback as soon as Brees retires. Reported by Profootballtalk.com

Diehards Line: The problem for the Saints is that they only have about $12 million in cap space for 2020, and that makes it financially difficult to afford to keep both Brees and Hill. With Hill set to become a restricted free agent, the Saints may put a first-round tender on Hill and then wait to see whether some team makes him an offer. If that were to happen, the Saints would have to decide whether to match that offer or to take that team’s first-round draft pick. Teddy Bridgewater, who took over for the injured Brees for five games last season and led the Saints to a 5-0 record, also becomes a free agent in March. There’s no way the Saints could afford to keep all three quarterbacks, so it would seem likely that they’ll let Bridgewater walk. As PFT suggests, until Brees decides whether to play in 2020 or retire, everything else is on hold. But it appears that the Saints have decided that Hill is next, whether that’s in 2020 or 2021.

The Facts: The Browns are turning to a young but familiar face to help turn around their fortunes. Former Cleveland executive Andrew Berry will return after a year with the Eagles to be its general manager and executive VP, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport and NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reported Monday. Reported by NFL.com

Diehards Line: Berry has 53-man roster control and at 32 is the youngest GM in the NFL, Rapoport added. ... The organization has stressed the need for unity between its head coach and general manager, both of which have been revolving doors since the franchise rebooted in 1999. Chemistry might already exist among certain parts of the front office. Berry was the Browns' vice president of player personnel from 2016 to 2018, which means he worked alongside current chief strategy officer Paul DePodesta. The 32-year-old Berry was the Eagles' vice president of football operations in 2019, involving himself in everything from scouting to contracts to strategy. Previously in Cleveland, Berry ran day-to-day scouting -- pro and college. He was in high demand this offseason. The Eagles denied the Panthers' request to interview Berry for executive VP, Rapoport previously reported. They could not deny the Browns because they were considering him for their GM vacancy. Now the position has been filled.

The Facts: As noted in the previous item, for Brees, the decision is simple: Play for the Saints in 2020, or retire. On Saturday, the timetable for making the decision became a bit more clear. “I’m really waiting until football is totally done,” Brees said Saturday from the Pro Bowl, via Amie Just of NOLA.com. “Obviously being here, I’m just very much focused on my family and this opportunity to be around the guys, playing the game. Then, I’ll kind of lay low for a little bit, get away and then assess. I kind of have a process in mind. And I’ll give it a month or so.” Reported by Profootballtalk.com

Diehards Line: Saints G.M. Mickey Loomis has said that the team wants Brees to continue. But PFT's Mike Florio contends the presence of restricted free agent Taysom Hill complicates things, however. Hill, who turns 30 this year, has become a potent weapon on offense, arguably the best player on the field when the Saints lost to the Vikings three weeks ago. The Saints, on one hand, would surely like to keep Brees for as long as they can. On the other hand, they surely don’t want to risk losing Hill to a team that isn’t already paying $20 million or more for a starter. The role envisioned for Brees and Hill necessarily will impact the offer the Saints will make for Brees. And with Brees on the record about not playing for another team, the Saints don’t have to worry about Brees balking at a proposed role or compensation package and emerging with a competitor. So while the decision is simple, uness the Saints and Brees have the same idea in mind as to how much he’ll make and how much he’ll play, Brees could decide that the time has indeed come to walk away.

The Facts: Cooper played the final season of his rookie contract in 2019, and with free agency looming, his future is uncertain. With more than a month before the official start of free agency, he's not stressing over it -- yet. There is a chance he lands elsewhere, though, if he and the Cowboys can't work out a new deal before then. "I'm just taking it day by day," Cooper said Thursday. "I don't really feel like there's nothing that's imminent. I'm not anxious, I'm not apprehensive. I'm just living life." Reported by NFL.com

Diehards Line: As NFL.com's Nick Shook notes, Cooper found such success with his move from Oakland to Dallas, racking up 1,914 receiving yards in 27 games played with Dak Prescott in between the final nine contests of the 2018 season and all of 2019. He also completed his best season of his career in 2019, posting career-high marks in receiving yards (1,189) and touchdowns (8). Cooper's destiny now rests in his own hands. Whether that will include a new contract in Dallas or a move elsewhere remains to be seen. One thing is for certain, though: While the Cowboys will have a projected $81 million in cap space to work with (per Over The Cap), for Cooper, it won't be just about the money.

The Facts: Brees has not said whether he will play football during the 2020 season and said this week that he’ll take some time to “decompress” before making that call, but he knows where he wants to be if he does decide to play. Brees told Jane Slater of NFL Media that he has no intention of playing for any team other than the Saints. Reported by Profootballtalk.com

Diehards Line: The Saints have said they want Brees in their uniform as long as he wants to play, which explains why Brees isn’t sweating a contract negotiation that would follow a decision to keep playing. “I never been in the situation where I was mulling over the thought of [returning],” Brees said. “To me, each one of these contracts, I don’t know how many it’s been, I’ve played with them 14 years. It’s not a matter of if it gets done, it’s when. At this stage of my career, it’s not a given if I come back every year but when that time comes, I’ll always be a Saint.” As PFT suggested, if one wanted to read into which direction Brees is leaning, they’d likely see that response as a sign that Brees and the Saints will keep it together for at least one more season.

The Facts: Fuller now has undergone sports hernia surgery, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports. Reported by Profootballtalk.com

Diehards Line: Thus, Fuller will spend another offseason rehabbing. He was coming off an ACL tear last offseason. Fuller, who is scheduled to make $10.16 million under the fifth-year option in 2020, made 49 receptions for 670 yards and three touchdowns in 2019. He has shown he can make plays; he hasn’t shown he can stay healthy.
