Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers has heard a lot of talk about new stadiums and potential moves since joining the team in 2004, which helps explain why he’s not getting too heated up over the latest round that’s been going on this offseason.

Rivers said on Monday that discussion of a new stadium in San Diego or a shared stadium with the Raiders in Carson, California is “just a lot of noise at this point” and that he isn’t going to get “riled up” about it unless things get closer to fruition. Part of the reason for that may be that Rivers doesn’t think the team’s stadium solution will have much of a factor in any contract talks that may be coming regarding his continued presence on the Chargers roster.

“Is the location of this team going to be a deciding factor? I can’t honestly tell you that it will be,” Rivers said on the Mighty 1090. “Is it a factor at all? Sure. I can’t tell you that it’s at the top of the list, because it’s not, it’s really not. That goes without saying I hope we’re staying. But should we move, it doesn’t move to the top of my list for deterrents for not being a Charger.”

The question of Rivers’s future will likely be up for discussion at some point this offseason because he’s heading into the final year of his contract. The Chargers have said they want Rivers to play for the Chargers for the remainder of his career and Rivers expressed the same interest during Monday’s interview, so it seems like there’s a good chance for a deal wherever Rivers is cashing his checks.
