3 Teams That Should Sign Philip Rivers After Decision to 'Permanently' Move Out of San Diego Area

This change of venue for a certain quarterback could spell the end of an era in Los Angeles.

According to reports, Los Angeles Chargers' quarterback Philip Rivers has sold his house in the San Diego area and has moved to Florida.

While this could be the end of his NFL career in general, we would like to see No. 17 playing again next season. Here are three teams that should sign Rivers after his decision to move out of San Diego.

3. Chicago Bears

The Chicago Bears have a Mitchell Trubisky-sized hole in their offense and Rivers could be the perfect plug for it. Their offense's ineptitude this past season was due to teams stacking the box and forcing Trubisky to throw the ball, which he had serious struggles with. An addition of Rivers would make teams respect the pass more and could make David Montgomery a legitimate star running the ball without a stacked box. Of course, Nagy has expressed confidence in how Trubisky ended the season, meaning there's no guarantee Rivers would begin the year as the starter. Still, Chicago is reportedly interested in adding a solid veteran who could step in if Trubisky struggles again next season, and Rivers ought to be that guy.

2. Indianapolis Colts

Jacoby Brissett is serviceable, but is not near the quality of quarterback that Indy should want if they actually wish to make a postseason push. Giving Rivers a team with a lot of cap space in 2020, a solid offensive line, a healthy TY Hilton and being in a position to select Jerry Jeudy or CeeDee Lamb should they wish sounds nothing short of sublime. If Rivers does decide to keep playing football, do not be surprised to see him in Lucas Oil Stadium rocking blue and white next season.

1. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Bucs could do without Jameis Winston, if we're being honest. While Rivers took a step back this season, he's not nearly as turnover prone as the Florida State product. With weapons like Mike Evans and Chris Godwin as his disposal, what's the point of leaving Florida in the first place?
