Philip Rivers placed his San Diego future in question two months ago when he rejected the notion of signing a contract extension with the Chargers.

Now there's reason to believe Rivers will stay with the organization under a new long-term deal, as NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport recently suggested.

Although Rivers said Tuesday that there is "nothing new to report" on contract talks, he added, via U-T San Diego's Michael Gehlkin that it would be "awesome" to finish his career with the Chargers.

As we pointed out last week, it would now be a surprise if Rivers doesn't retire in a Bolts uniform.
