Philip Rivers is likely to be a Charger for life after signing his new $84 million extension over the weekend. Rivers, who’ll receive $65 million guaranteed, also has a no-trade clause worked in as well.
Per ESPN:
While many wondered whether the deal would include language that voided the agreement or contained other out clauses if the team relocates to Los Angeles, the opposite actually occurred.
Rivers, 33, is firmly committed to the organization for the next five years. He previously expressed a reluctance to raise his family in Los Angeles, where the Chargers could move. The quarterback and his wife are expecting their eighth child.
Rivers $65 million guaranteed in the most of any player currently under contract.
