4/19/25 | For Patriots, history says taking an offensive lineman at No. 4 in NFL Draft has been a safe selection. The Chargers didn't have Philip Rivers in mind when they were picking first in 2004. When Manning said he wasn't going to go to San Diego, the Chargers had no choice but to select Manning, then trade him to the Giants for their No. 4 pick, Rivers. Bengals coach Marty Schottenheimer was honest. Source: https://www.bostonglobe.com/2025/04/19/sports/patr... |
4/06/25 | Aaron Rodgers, other QBs joke about Philip Rivers' iconic throwing motion. Philip Rivers is one of the greatest Los Angeles Chargers of all time. Being apart of the infamous 2004 NFL Draft trade that swapped Eli Manning to the New York Giants, Rivers took on the challenge of becoming the face of the Chargers and ran with it. The eight-time Pro Bowler unfortunately couldn't help get the Chargers their first Super Bowl, but was apart of some amazing teams in the 2000s that Bolts fans will remember forever. One thing that will always be etched in the minds of Chargers fans is Rivers' throwing motion, which was certainly different than most. Source: https://www.si.com/nfl/chargers/chargers-aaron-rod... |

3/12/25 | Chargers reunite with free agent wide receiver Mike Williams. Wide receiver Mike Williams spent the first seven seasons of his NFL career with the Chargers, forming strong connections first with Philip Rivers and later with Justin Herbert before he was jettisoned in a cost-saving move by the salary cap-strapped team roughly one year ago. Williams and the Chargers were reunited Wednesday, when he and the team agreed on a one-season contract reportedly worth up to $6 million. Fox Sports was the first to report the deal, a move that bolsters the Chargers' wide receiver corps and gives Herbert another experienced and reliable target.

9/23/24 | Los Angeles Chargers: Much-maligned WR continues his impressive start. The Los Angeles Chargers are not going to be a team that airs it out on offense. Gone are the days of 'Air Coryell', Philip Rivers slinging it around, or even the way Justin Herbert started his career. For that reason, the team did not seem to be incredibly concerned about the wide receiver position this offseason, even though everyone else was. The Chargers have D.J. Chark on injured reserve and Joshua Palmer was out for the Week 3 game with injury. Source: https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/los-angeles-ch... |
8/04/24 | Public enemy No. 1 for Los Angeles Chargers could go to Hall of Fame on first ballot. When the 2025 Hall of Fame class is enshrined in Canton, it could easily be a bittersweet day for fans of the Los Angeles Chargers. Manning was of course drafted with the No. 1 overall pick by the Chargers in 2004 but after refusing to play for the team, he was traded to the New York Giants. It all ended up for the best as the Chargers netted Philip Rivers in that deal, but Manning's refusal to play for the Chargers, a decision he's never really fully explained, keeps him on the bad side of most Chargers fans to this day.
