5 Teams Crazy Enough To Trade Multiple Draft Picks For Philip Rivers

Philip Rivers Trade Rumors San Diego Chargers NFL — According to Ian Rapoport, the San Diego Chargers don’t really want to trade Philip Rivers. But if San Diego were to trade the veteran All-Pro, the asking price would be quite steep. How much would a team have to give up in a trade? Rapoport is quoted reporting to the NFL network, “A LOT. Multiple first round picks.” So which teams would be crazy enough to make such a proposal? Here are five that should be on the radar:

5. Cleveland Browns

Cleveland Browns Philip Rivers Trade Rumors Mike Pettine — The Cleveland Browns would gladly forfeit their long-term future for Rivers’ short-term availability. Remember, the Browns were so desperate for a quarterback that they drafted Johnny Manziel in the first round. Don’t rule out Cleveland.

Robert Griffin III RG III Washington Redskins Trade Rumors — The RG III experiment is close to being a failure, and the Redskins might not give the injury-prone, practice-adverse, prima donna another chance at stardom in 2015. I see the Redskins as another unstable organization willing to cough up high draft picks in a rebooted pursuit of a franchise quarterback.

2. New York Jets

Houston Texans trade rumors Philip Rivers Bill O'Brien — This would take a lot of wizardry, since the Texans best draft pick is at No. 17 overall, but Houston is another team that could turn everything around with a proven quarterback. So why not give up nearly everything the Texans have for Rivers?
