Had just got home from picking Morgan up from Volley ball practice when ESPN scrolled that Philip Rivers had just signed at 92 million dollar contract extention with the San Diego Chargers. Talk about keeping negotiations under wraps just Friday ESPN reported it looked as if both sides were so far off that talks may stop until after the season.

Rivers will ever be linked to Eli Manning since the draft day trade in 2004. Manning got a 97 million, 35 guaranteed just a month ago. If the reports are right Rivers is guaranteed 39 million and in 2010, 2011, and 2012 he will make 16 million per which will make him the highest paid player in the NFL those three years or until someone else breaks that record.
