Tom Telesco: 'Philip Rivers will stay with San Diego Chargers'

Philip Rivers will play for the San Diego Chargers next season, says general manager Tom Telesco.

The San Diego Chargers have confirmed that they want to keep quarterback Philip Rivers this season.

The 33-year-old had been linked with a move away from the California side in the off-season, with the Tennessee Titans reportedly keen.

However, general manager Tom Telesco told reporters: "There really is no update. It's the same thing I've said for the last four months, Philip's our quarterback and it's our plan and intent that he's our quarterback well into the future.

"In all my discussions with him, he's shown a great amount of respect for his teammates and a great amount of respect for this organisation. He's been here every day working extremely hard working with his teammates being the leader that he is. I know he's really excited about this season, as are we, and we move from there."

Rivers joined the Chargers in 2004 and has thrown 252 touchdowns.
