The era with the is over as Los Angeles has, who has been under center as their starter for the past 16 seasons. Rivers will now jump into free agency and look for a new home as his former club searches for his succe sor. For the latest on Rivers’ top landing spots, updates on his free agency, and more, you can .For now, we’ll turn the page and look at L.A.’s options at quarterback — they can really cast a wide search. They just so happen to be entering an offseason where they’re in need of a quarterback and . In that spirit, we’re diving down into a bunch of rabbit holes that the Chargers could check in on as they look for a Will Dissly Jersey new quarterback and rank them from least likely to most likely. Of course, the pursuit of soon-to-be free agent will be high on this list, but there are plenty of trade po sibilities, other free agents, and draft prospects worth keeping an eye on as they ultimately come to a decision on QB1.Below you’ll see a snapshot of the potential madne s that could develop to spark up this new dawn of Chargers football:7. Splash trade: This was a theory that Senior NFL writer Will Brinson brought up in the latest Pick Six Podcast’s “AFC Burning Questions, Mailbag” episode, and it got the wheels spinning in my head. In this hypothetical scenario, the Chargers would ship the No. 6 pick to the for Newton and the No. 7 overall selection (with other a sets po sibly involved) at the 2020 in Vegas. Spicy! Of course, we all agree that it’s rather unlikely this actually happens, but it’d certainly check a lot of boxes that Los Angeles is reportedly looking for in their next quarterback. Newton is mobile, a former league MVP, still relatively young at age 30 and, while he isn’t Tom Brady, he’d bring some enough star power to L.A. that should help sell tickets for their new stadium. The Panthers seems to be starting anew with first-year head coach Matt Rhule and have already seen the likes of and depart the franchise. It wouldn’t be too surprising if Newton was the next one out the door. The question for Los Angeles in this, however, would center around Newton’s health. If they don’t feel good about that, it’s a non-starter.Either way, this is a fun scenario to think about.6. Roll the dice: Because of his stature as a former No. 1 overall pick, Jameis Winston could garner some buzz around the fanbase if the Chargers were to David Moore Jersey sign him in free agency. His current team, the , Philip Rivers, so this could be a neat free agent swap.Winston does have talent, but his gunslinger mentality also leads to a lot of turnovers as we saw last season. Despite leading the league with 5,109 yards pa sing, Winston also threw a league-high 30 interceptions in 2019. In a way, his play was similar to Rivers, which may not be that endearing to head coach Anthony Lynn and co. as they just cut ties with their longtime franchise QB over similar concerns. His price tag may also be something that could make the Chargers steer clear. That said, if they feel like they can take Winston (and his new set of eyes) and unlock his potential, they’d be getting a still young quarterback as he’ll be just 26 to start the 2020 season.5. Buy low: Out of the po sible trade options, kicking the tires on Nick Foles is a rather intriguing option for Los Angeles. After suffering a broken clavicle in the opener against Kansas City Tyler Lockett Jersey in his debut, Foles was sidelined until Week 11, which gave rookie the chance to break out. He not only played at an efficient level, but he also took ahold of the fanbase and developed a cult following. By all accounts, it looks like it’s his job to lose in 2020.With that QB decision currently looming over Jacksonville, the Chargers could look to acquire Foles at a relatively cheap price considering his contract situation. He has a $22.1 million cap hit for 2020, which could be absorbed by Los Angeles, who $51.7 million in cap space. If this experiment doesn’t work out, the Chargers would also then have an out in Foles’ contract after next season so it could be a flier worth taking. After all, Foles has proven that he’s capable of winning a and the Chargers do have enough weapons to contend with offensively as long as they keep tight end . 4. Sneaky free agent flier: If the dust settles on the 2020 offseason and the Chargers have Marcus Mariota on the roster, I would consider that a win. I’m not sure he has the cachet to have fans rushing to sign up for season tickets, but I do like the fit. The Chargers are and, while Mariota isn’t the next , he can extend plays and move the chains with his feet when Quinton Jefferson Jersey need be.The 2019 season didn’t go well for Mariota in Tenne see as he lost the starting job to , who then took the to the AFC Championship. As the former No. 2 pick looks for a new opportunity, Los Angeles may be a nice place to hit the reset button. He could come in, compete with the likes of and try to tap back into his potential. The 2019 season aside, Mariota is a pretty accurate quarterback (68.9 completion percentage in 2018) and does keep turnovers to a minimum — relatively speaking. He also has nine fourth-quarter comebacks and eleven game-winning drives to his name over the course of his career. With weapons like , Hunter Henry, and po sibly , Mariota could have a nice resurgence as a Charger.And if L.A. starts to win with Mariota, fans will eventually start to show up.3. NFL Draft: Justin HerbertThe Chargers have plenty of needs (specifically acro s the offensive line), but it really doesn’t matter if you can protect the quarterback if you don’t have one, right? As they figure out what to do with the No. 6 overall pick, there’s always the option that Los Angeles addre ses the quarterback Cortez Kennedy Jersey position, and with Joe Burrow and Tua Tagovailoa likely off the board, that brings Oregon’s Justin Herbert into the limelight. Herbert has all the physical attributes of a franchise quarterback and is coming off a strong Senior Bowl performance where he earned MVP honors. As , however, Herbert needs to work on his consistency and, as the quarterback himself also admitted, leadership, which may not make him a Day 1 starter in the NFL. Despite Herbert being a raw talent, his presence would certainly generate a ton of fan interest about the franchise’s future in a similar fashion to what their SoFi Stadium roommate in the did with former No. 1 overall pick . Just like Goff before him, Herbert played college football in the Pac-12.Going down this avenue would certainly make a lot of sense for a franchise looking to rebrand itself. Having Herbert on a rookie contract would also free up a ton of cap space to build up the talent around him going forward. 2. Big free agent fish GOAT: Tom BradyOf course, this is THE rumor flying around the NFL currently. If Tom Brady doesn’t elect to finish out his career with the , many are po
