Rivers isn’t really in a position to demand a winning team after the season he just had. I can see the Jags chasing their tail again paying him a monster 2 year deal to save dougs job. Indy makes sense just from the standpoint they are built to win right now. Tampa I guess, not sure he’s better than Winston there right now. Dolphins would be silly after what Fitz just did for them. I don’t know that he can really make any kind of impact, I think he’s done. He looked rough this season. I remember what Fitz did for us before we gave him a long term deal. Fitz to NE. It's the only team left in the AFC East. Edited January 19, 2020 by formerlyofCtown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miami is out unless he just wants a big payday to babysit someone. Tampa, maybe but only if he thinks Arians has that team to win now, which I don't they are I think this is just a long term family planning move. After he retires the taxes in Florida are much saner than the taxes in Soviet Califonia Arians had success with Palmer at the end of his career. They certainly have a great supporting cast on offense. Indianapolis or Chicago make a lot of sense, but at this point is Rivers that much better than Brissett and Trubisky?

My wife has work out of LA frequently so I’ve been lucky to spend a decent amount of time in Cali.

Which he is of course the top tier so it’s not about taxes that he left. I think it’s more about why he bought the house in Florida. He doesn’t know where he’s playing yet, but he knows its not the Chargers, so he moved to the SE near his family, and many rich athletes have their main residence in FL for tax purposes and then buy/rent another where they play. He doesn’t plan to play in Southern Cal anymore, so no reason to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything here favors the super rich, business owners, gentrification, etc. Working class people are displaced everyday while the major capitalists in the state skirt all the tax laws and get all the benefits.

But you would be hardpressed to argue that the Soviets were open to that. Finally, getting welfare benefits in this state is exceptionally difficult. The public health care is only for super super poor. Same with food. Housing assistance is impossible to get. And unemployment is a nightmare and takes forever to get benefits.

jwhit34 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Last 8 games Rivers had 11 TDs and 13 INTs. He still had a lot of yards because they have good skill position players and trailed in most games so they had to pass a lot. He's going to get worse, not better. He had really good WRs, good TEs and excellent RBs. I don't know what team takes him, especially since he will demand $15-20 million. What team commits to that even if for 1 year? If he goes to another team picture Johnny Unitas as a Charger or Joe Namath as a Ram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many millions has he pocketed every year for how many years? Not counting interest on investments... again not a real big concern for the one percenters. This is a family decision, not a financial decision. That and his career is in its tail end, may as well go home, chill, play a little golf, spend some time with the kids, and even let his body heal up completely.

They can turn it around next year. Especially if Miami gets their hands on a good RB they won’t have to ask Rivers to do much, I can see them signing Rivers and keeping Fitz while trading away Rosen and drafting Tua and red shirting him all next year.
