Philip Rivers is officially moving on from the Los Angeles Chargers after the team announced Monday that the two sides have "mutually agreed" to part ways.

"After stepping back a bit from last season, we reconnected with Philip and his representatives to look at how 2019 played out, assess our future goals, evaluate the current state of the roster and see if there was a path forward that made sense for both parties," general manager Tom Telesco said in the statement.

Rivers has spent his entire 16-year career with the Chargers since being drafted fourth overall in 2004.
