Rivers to TEN for #2 Overall (Rumor)

[lockdnram21]

Ya'll are stoned if you wouldn't make that trade + extension.

I wouldn't especially for #2 pick or #10 and Foles. I wouldn't trade more than a 3rd rounder

I don't think Tennessee is close enough to the playoffs much less the superbowl. Rivers will help but I don't think he makes a big enough difference.

I'm not sure, they have a decent set of receivers, and their o-line only needs an RT - they could do with picking up a decent pass-rusher in the draft though

It would also give Mettenberger time to improve his craft under Rivers

I am sooooo glad you are not the Rams GM.....

From what I've read about Rivers he puts his family first. So at this point if he doesn't like the destination of a trade or relocation he might just walk away.
The trade negotiations might be the easy part. Getting him to move might be a lot harder.

I completely agree with Mojo!!

San Diego should be adding a lot more than just Rivers. That trade looks like a total rip-off.

Marcus Mariota - QB - Player
Bleacher Report's Jason Cole reports it's looking "stronger and stronger" that the Chargers will acquire Tennessee's No. 2 overall pick, and draft Oregon QB Marcus Mariota.

Per Cole's sources, Philip Rivers and San Diego's No. 17 overall pick would be "just a start" in trade talks. We've still yet to see the smoking gun that this is going to happening, but nothing has been done to squash the rumors. It's not a fairy tale.

So, if this is true then the Rams trading up to get Mariota is false?

Hell I would give them the 10th pick and Foles for Rivers. Somebody make the call!

I think a big reason that he isn't extending with the Chargers is because he doesn't want to go to LA, so I wouldn't like the Rams chances of getting him signed to a new contract. We would also have to try to fit his salary into our cap.

It's Bleacher Report, man. They're a step below BSPN and TMZ in the sports department.

By the time Tennessee puts a decent team around Rivers, he will be in the retirement phase. At least with Mariota they can have a young QB that will have more than 1 or 2 more years left in the tank and enough mobility not to get injured. Rivers is tough but I'd rather not have a guy so old and slow that he ends up having to play through injury.

Rivers behind our offensive line? Start warming up Keenum.
