Philip Rivers has signed a four-year extension with the San Diego Chargers, reported to be worth $84 million.

The 33-year-old Bolts quarterback was entering the final year of his six-year contract he signed back in 2009. According to Mike Garofolo of Fox Sports, this new contract guarantees him $65 million and keeps him in a Chargers uniform until 38, which should make this the final contract of his NFL career.

Rivers was due to make $15.75 million this year.

San Diego made it clear that their plan all offseason was to secure a new deal for Rivers, to keep him there until the end of his career. The only problem was the likelihood of relocation to Los Angeles.

Questions surrounding Rivers’ future stemmed from his own uncertainty of his future in San Diego back in March, when rumours surfaced that he could be traded to the Tennessee Titans – although the move never materialised.

Even if Rivers didn’t sign an extension, the likelihood of him walking out of San Diego as a free agent in 2016 was very slim, as the Chargers had the option of the franchise tag in 2016.
