The Chargers could sell Philip Rivers

The week before, Bill Barnwell of ESPN explained how, in the lottery-like Mut 23 coins draft "the most efficient strategy is to have many more lottery tickets." The RG3 trade is perhaps one of the most effective examples of this in the past, but winners from that deal seem to be ignoring the fact. Maybe it will work out, but the Rams should have a better idea.

The Chargers could sell Philip Rivers, but they'd probably make the mistake of a trade too. LaDainian Tomlinson has said that the Chargers should sell Philip Rivers. They Chargers are in rebuilding mode and should consider trading Philip Rivers instead of ruin the rest of his career. Are they realistic?

It's logical on the surface of things. The Chargers have been, yet again the absolute worst team, losing three games in a gruelling fashion by blowing fourth-quarter leads. Rivers isn't a part of the problem. He's completed 68 percent of passes. He averages 7.8 yards per attempt with 1.110 yards. He has seven touchdowns and only one interception.

The Chargers signed Rivers to a four-year, contract extension valued at $83 million earlier this year, but the structure of the deal does not make it prohibitive for him to be traded. The cap-to-cap hit won't exceed $22 million until after the final year, so it's easy for a team to get out of the contract after 2018.

However, the Chargers really have a need for every bit of support they can ... something that they're lacking after suffering so much losses recently, the Bosa protest and that thing about cheap madden 23 coins alienating fans through the relocation thing.
