COSTA MESA Melvin Gordon Jersey , Calif. (AP) ?ith the Los Angeles Chargers but the quarterback's future beyond 2019 is one of many areas that general manager Tom Telesco will have to address during the offseason.Telesco reiterated during his season-ending news conference Thursday that Rivers isn't going anywhere but didn't elaborate on a timetable for discussing a contract extension.Rivers this year will be going into the final season of a four-year, $83.25 million extension he signed in August 2015. He will earn $16 million in 2019 ?$11 million in base salary and a $5 million roster bonus."He's going to be here. We'll talk at the right point as far as the moves we need to make in the offseason and the resources we have and kind of see how it all fits in," Telesco said.VOTE for the ing off one of his best seasons. His 105.5 passer rating equaled a career best and his 8.5 yards per attempt was his best since 2010. His 68.3 percent completion rate also ranked as the second best of his career.Rivers said Monday that he hasn't discussed his future plans with the team, but noted he wants to play at least through 2020, when the new LA Stadium at Hollywood Park opens. A possible model that both sides could look at is the two-year, $50 million contract that Drew Brees signed with New Orleans last March."We'll see what happens but that is something that excites me and that I want to be a part of it," he said.Telesco didn't rule out the possibility of drafting a quarterback this year Uchenna Nwosu Color Rush Jersey , but also said that it would have to line up with the team's other needs.Telesco's more immediate goals are trying to keep most of the 14 players who are slated to become unrestricted free agents. At the top of the list is safety Adrian Phillips, who earned All-Pro honors on special teams. Phillips was third on the team in tackles (77) and led the league in special teams stops with 21.The Chargers cut and re-signed Phillips eight times during the 2014 and '15 seasons before he finally made it for good."Eight times he came into my office to let him go and he always handled it professionally," Telesco said. "To see a player finally earn a job on 53, then earn a role, then a starting role, and then being an excellent special teamer and defense and then go to the Pro Bowl. He's kind of the heart and soul of the defense, too." Other notable free agents include cornerback Jason Verrett Jahleel Addae Color Rush Jersey , who missed the season with an Achilles injury, wide receiver Tyrell Williams and defensive tackle Damion Square. Williams averaged 15.9 yards on 41 receptions with five touchdowns while Square played all four spots on the defensive line while posting three sacks."We like to draft, develop and re-sign our own and then are very selective in free agency. We like to retain our own, I think we have a good core here," Telesco said.Telesco said he likes the steps the franchise has taken the past two years under coach Anthony Lynn. The Chargers have gone from five wins in 2016 to 12 regular-season victories this season and a postseason berth for the first time in five years. Los Angeles defeated Baltimore in the wild-card round but lost 41-28 to New England in the divisional playoffs."This is not a one-step process. This is a multi-step process to where we want to go. We took some significant steps this year," Telesco said. "We had a very good football team but we played a better football team in New England at New England. We've got to figure out how to get past that hump next year."

These four would be Quinnen Williams, Ed Oliver, Rashan Gary, and Jeffrey Simmons (yes, I know he tore his ACL and has misconduct issues, but his talent puts him in the top three rated players in the draft by NFL.com).Former Chargers players who have yet to find a new team - Travis WakemanLet’s get into that discussion with a look at four former players still looking for work. In addition to the players on this list Junior Seau Color Rush Jersey , punter Donnie Jones is out there as is legendary tight end Antonio Gates, who will almost certainly only be in a Chargers uniform if he ever steps on a football field again.Latest On Josh Rosen Market - Sam RobinsonThe Patriots were not high on Rosen last year, Breer notes, but that was partially because of what it would have cost them to move up in the first round to acquire him. After a rough year for Rosen, Patriots interest may still not be there, per King. Philip Rivers continues to indicate he has no near-future retirement plans, and the Bolts gave Tyrod Taylor $6MM on a two-year deal. This would not point to a Rosen-to-Los Angeles scenario coming to fruition.What we can learn from target percentage for fantasy: AFC - Daniel KelleyAustin Ekeler might never be a No. 1 Desmond King Color Rush Jersey , bell-cow back, but he’s carved out a perfect role as Melvin Gordon’s backup. As noted in my piece on next year’s free agency, Ekeler has a career 3.1 yards per carry in games he’s played 35-plus offensive snaps, 6.1 in games he’s played fewer. He’s destined to forever be an upside flex play, but a good one.Social Media Information:BFTB Facebook Page: Click here to like our pageBFTB Twitter: Follow @BFTB_ChargersThe Lightning Round Twitter: Follow @Lightning_RoundThe Lightning Round Facebook: Click here to like our pageBFTB Manager: Richard Wade: Follow @RichardWade
