I feel a little dirty, but how can you not thank a Marvin Gaye reference?

So. Has this rumor gotten anywhere ye?. Another rumor going around is that Merriman got caught with enhancement drugs crossing the border from Canada.

Doesn't necessarily mean anything even if it DID happen. If the Chargers are entertaining the idea of trading Rivers and called the Bills, I'm sure they also called all the other QB-needy teams. We would in no way be special in any of that, and it would only reflect on what the Chargers are thinking, not the Bills.
One nice thing is that for the first time since forever, it's not laughable that a good QB might want to come to Buffalo. Play for Rex, hand off to Shady, and throw to Watkins/Harvin/Woods/Clay. It's now an attractive place to land.
Getting Rivers is almost like getting Manning or Brady from a brains perspective too. He's smart, like another coach, and would round out the Rex hiring even further. Combine him and Roman, with Rex running the defense, and this is absolutely a Super Bowl contender.
Wake up, brush your teeth, and get ready for a day of hating the Dolphins. Or the Pats? How to choose?

It doesn't really matter, I think I used up all my offseason angst already and I'm just not really set to argue with anyone about anything with any passion anymore anyway. SI and the Chargers sb nation crew had the material. I'm falling back into apathetic so whatever.
The "rambling" about Rivers' personal life is in response to the notion that Rivers would not want to play here. I don't see that as a given at all.
I also don't believe for a second that this scenario would actually happen. You don't just give up a Phillip Rivers without a serious backup plan at QB. A trade with Buffalo wouldn't get the Chargers any type of solution at QB, while trades with other teams could.
I have a hard time believing Rivers would be willing to either uproot his large family and move them off to anywhere (maybe a specific area where he would consider retiring to eventually is a possibility, but IMO that's not Buffalo) or go more than a season or two being away from the family for 2/3's of the year.

Rivers for Dareus = no brainier.
