COSTA MESA, Calif. -- Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers uncharacteristically did not talk to reporters during locker room cleanout Monday at the team's facility after a disappointing, 5-11 season.
That much was understandable, as Rivers repeatedly answered questions about his future over the past few weeks. Rivers, 38, is in the final year of his contract and does not know whether he will return to the Chargers for a 17th season.
Just a few items of clothing remained in Rivers' usually full locker Monday, perhaps a sign that the team's starting quarterback since 2006 might not return in 2020.
