Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers is using his contract status as a potential way for the team to work out a new deal with Melvin Gordon.
Speaking to SiriusXM NFL Radio, Rivers isn't concerned about playing out the final year of his deal. He also said it would be "awesome" if delaying a new contract for the QB allows the Chargers to get an extension done with their star running back.
