| | | News of Eli Manning's six-year, $97.5 million contract extension was duly noted in San Diego, where Philip Rivers is in the last year of his deal. Manning was briefly the property of the Chargers on draft day 2004, before being traded to the Giants for Rivers and a handful of picks. Rivers said after Wednesday morning's practice that he's optimistic he'll be in San Diego for a long time. "We really haven't talked much about it," said Rivers, who had more passing yards (4,009) and touchdown passes (34) than Manning last season. "When talks pick up, you'll know. Until then, my focus is on helping this team get better." Source: Associated Press | | |
