Report: Chargers tell Rivers he won’t be traded

AP

Even if quarterback Philip Rivers wants to move on from the Chargers, the Chargers don’t want to move on from him.  Yet.

According to Kevin Acee of U-T San Diego, the Chargers have informed Rivers that he won’t be traded.  Acee adds that talks on a contract extension are ongoing.

This entire ordeal began when Rivers told Acee on March 17 — four days after the Steelers gave quarterback Ben Roethlisberger a gigantic new deal — that Rivers wasn’t inclined to sign a new contract with the Chargers until his current deal expires at the end of the 2015 season.
