San Diego Chargers general manager Tom Telesco reiterated his wish for veteran quarterback Philip Rivers to retire with the organization once his playing days are over.

The Chargers don’t have a backup plan at quarterback, so trading Philip Rivers wouldn’t make any sense, Eric D. Williams writes. Story

“Absolutely,” Telesco said. “He’s our guy. Like I’ve said before, we’d like to extend him. And when he’s ready to do that, we’ll get moving on it.”

Rivers fueled speculation about his future with the Chargers in comments he made in a report by U-T San Diego last week.

“What I can control and all I know as of today, I am signed up for one more year,” Rivers told U-T San Diego. “I guess things could change, but with all the uncertainty in many aspects, I don’t see it changing before camp gets here, and when camp gets here I’m even more certain to play it out.”
