The Los Angeles Chargers have informed Philip Rivers that they are moving on from the veteran quarterback, according to reports.
FOX Sports' Jay Glazer broke the story on Monday.
"The Chargers moved on from Philip Rivers," he said on 'The Herd with Colin Cowherd'.
Glazer's comments come on the heels of Rivers moving his wife and nine children from Southern California to Florida recently.
Rivers, 38, told reporters after the Chargers' season-ending game on December 29 that he'd like to continue to play football, even if the franchise didn't bring him back for a 17th season.
In 2019, the Chargers struggled to a 5-11 record. Rivers threw for 4,615 yards but connected on just 23 touchdown passes - his lowest total since 2017. He also threw 20 interceptions.
Rivers has been with the Chargers organisation since a draft-day trade with the New York Giants for Eli Manning in 2004 sent him to San Diego. Rivers' four-year, $83.25m contract expired at the end of the 2019 season.
Rivers played behind Drew Brees his first two seasons with the Chargers and is 123-101 as the Chargers' starter. He ranks sixth all-time in the NFL in passing yards (59,271), completed passes (4,908) and touchdown passes (397).
He has been remarkably durable, starting every game for 14 straight seasons.
