A friend of mine told me today that he heard it through the grapevine that the Bills recently got a phone call from San Diego.
He said, "Trade talks between the Titans and Chargers have fizzled and now San Diego is looking to trade Rivers to Buffalo. Lines of communication are open at OBD." That's not verbatim, but as close as I can remember. You get the gist of it.
I asked him who his sources were. They are legit, let's leave it at that. I have complete respect for my friend and his sources.
What would the Bills have to give up for Philip Rivers?
If Whaley could manage to get San Diego's 17th pick this year plus Rivers, how many draft picks would Doug Whaley have to give up?
My guess is the Bills would have to give up their first and second round picks in 2016, and their 2nd and 3rd round picks this year.
Would you make that trade? I would.
The Bills don't really NEED their 2nd or 3rd round picks this year.
If the Bills land Rivers, they won't NEED to draft a QB in 2016 either.
The Bills would get Philip Rivers and the 17th overall pick in this year's draft (starting offensive tackle) for a 2nd rounder in sweet '16.
The Chargers have recently tried to extend Rivers' contract, but he doesn't want to play in LA no matter how much they pay him.
Rivers is 33 years old and turns 34 in December. He doesn't need a great offensive line in front of him to be great.
Does he fit Roman's style of offense? I think Greg Roman would cream his pants if the Bills signed Rivers.
At this point in his NFL career, it's pretty obvious that Philip Rivers is looking for a change. He's not signing an extension because he won't play in LA.
Handing the ball off over 50% of the time might be something he'd be interested in doing to prolong his playing days up here in Buffalo.
Rivers is an excellent NFL quarterback. He's borderline Hall of Fame material.
The San Diego Chargers are looking toward the future, and so is their starting QB. The franchise is in a state of flux, much like the Bills were last year around this time.
The Chargers are movin' on up, and now might be the right time to start over again by letting go of their past.
Trade Rivers for the most draft picks possible and tank the 2015 season.
That could be in San Diego's best interests come time for the Chargers to play in LA's Carson City, and in the Bills best interests to win Super Bowl L.
