Rivers 'permanently' moves out of San Diego

Philip Rivers has moved "permanently" from San Diego to Florida to be closer to his family, the free-agent quarterback texted to ESPN on Sunday morning.

This article is about Rivers but they point out all the free agent passers that are going to be available.

Considering the current cap situation and the current quarterback situation who, if anyone, would you go for?

I know we've had a bunch of Mitchell threads but let's talk about the embarrassment of riches that's going to be available in a few months instead.

Rivers looked dunzo this season. His arm is shot.

I think the ideal QB for Nagy is going to be Cam, but his health is terrifying. He looked like shit this past season, but maybe he got the surgeries and rest he needed when he was shut down.

My guess is Pace doesn't want to sign a vet like Dalton/Cam/Brady/Rivers because he isn't ready to give up on Dear Sweet Mitchell. I could see a Mariota or Keenum signing as a back up QB.

Lots of free agent QB's with only so many jobs available. It's not who the Bears want but who is willing to sign a 1 year discount prove it deal.

I don't understand why pay for a backup like a Keenum or Dalton for 8-9 million, than go for a cheap QB in the draft. Gordon, Hurts, or Eason have more upside than a vet. Minshew this year shows it can be done. Put more money on O-line, OLB, TE or anything that can make the team better.

Yeah, I'm with you - he's done. For a running QB, its the miles that matter, not the years.

What? The best part of Minshew was that has a performance was completely unexpected. He was a 6th rounder. If you are saying 'why not just put all our eggs in one basket and hope the 6th rounder will work out at the most important position in football?', then your plan is just bad.

As much as Minshew did show it can be done there are countless rookie QBs that don't pan out. We only remember the ones that work, but there are far more QBs that fail.
