While the market for Rivers may not be as robust as it’ll be for Tom Brady, there’s already a team that’s getting buzz.
According to CBS NFL reporter Jason La Canfora, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are getting “a lot of buzz” as a possible landing spot.
The Buccaneers are currently in the market for backup or a potential challenger to Jameis Winston. They may even want a new starter altogether if they part ways with the former No. 1 overall pick.
Rivers is coming off a rather unremarkable year with the Chargers. Despite completing 66-percent of his passes for 4,615 yards and 23 touchdowns, he also threw 20 picks and was sacked 34 times.
The Chargers finished the year with a 5-11 record – their third losing season in the past five years.
Hearing a lot of buzz about Tampa as a possible landing spot for Philip Rivers. As reported back in late November, he and the Chargers were likely headed to a parting of the ways

As La Canfora noted, Rivers and the Chargers appear to be heading towards a divorce. A recent report revealed that Rivers has moved out of his Southern California.
Considering that he made a move to Florida, the Tampa Bay rumors may have some legs to them.
Rivers currently boasts the NFL’s leading ongoing streak of starts for a QB with 224. Will that streak continue somewhere else, or will it be snapped at 224?
