The week before, Bill Barnwell of ESPN described how in a lottery-like draft "the most efficient strategy is to have many more lottery tickets." The RG3 trade was possibly the best example of that in the past, but losers from that deal seem to be ignoring the information.

The week before, Bill Barnwell of Mut 23 coins ESPN described how in a lottery-like draft "the most efficient strategy is to have many more lottery tickets." The RG3 trade was possibly the best example of that in the past, but losers from that deal seem to be ignoring the information. It could be that it works out but the Rams should have a better idea.

The Chargers might be able to trade Philip Rivers, but they'd probably screw that up too. LaDainian Tomlinson believes that the Chargers should sell Philip Rivers. It is said that the Chargers are in rebuild mode and should trade Philip Rivers instead of ruin his entire career. Does that sound like a realistic option?

It is logical in the simplest of terms. The Chargers have been, yet again an absolute mess, losing three games in excruciating manner by blowing their fourth-quarter lead. Rivers isn't a part of the problem. He's getting 68.8% of passes. He averages 7.8 yards per pass and has 1.110 yards. He also scored seven touchdowns, and one interception.

The Chargers signed Rivers to a four-year, $83 million extension this year, however his structure in the deal does not make it prohibitive for trading him. The cap-to-cap hit won't exceed $22 million until this year, so it's possible for a team to get out of the contract after 2018.

But then again, the Chargers really require as much fan support as they are able to get ... something they're not very good at after going through so many losses lately in the Bosa holdout , and that all-consuming threatening of relocation thing. If they could get rid of Mike McCoy and make the correct moves in the offseason, they might be back on track sooner than you imagine. But that's admittedly a huge leap of faith for an organization that madden 23 coins cheap hasn't accomplished much to improve its standing, on or off the field.
