Player Notes
December 10, 2004
Chargers GM A.J. Smith denied rumors that he would deal rookie Philip Rivers away before March 10, when the quarterback will receive a $6.6 million roster bonus, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune. Regardless of what he said, the club will have to decide whether Rivers or incumbent Drew Brees (who will be a free agent) will be their top quarterback next season.

September 28, 2004
The Chargers have elevated rookie Philip Rivers to No. 2 on their depth chart, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune. The move could pave the way for Rivers to replace Drew Brees in the starting lineup within the next few weeks.

Having missed most of the preseason due to a holdout, rookie Philip Rivers not only won't start the season opener, he'll have a clipboard in hand.

August 24, 2004
The Chargers finally reached agreement on a contract with rookie Philip Rivers Monday night, according to ESPN's Len Pasquarelli. Rivers is expected to take part in his first practice Tuesday. It will be nearly impossible for him to unseat incumbent starter Drew Brees before the season gets going.
August 10, 2004
After Philip Rivers rejected what the Chargers called their final contract offer, the club pulled the offer and broke off contract talks, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune. Clearly, if he holds out much longer, he'll have little chance to land the starting quarterback job when the season gets underway.

Rookie Philip Rivers continues to hold out from training camp, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune. "He's got an offer. We're waiting to hear back. There's nothing else to say," Chargers GM A.J.
