5 Biggest San Diego Chargers Rumors Going Into 2015 NFL Training Camp

Philip Rivers San Diego Chargers — 2015 is supposed to be the year that the San Diego Chargers can get on track. The team is 100 percent healthy, head coach Mike McCoy is going into his third year with the reins and their quarterback is hungry to prove he can lead his team to the promised land. Unfortunately, they go into training camp with a lot of (negative) rumors surrounding the team, and they'll have to find a way to table these in training camp before the season starts.

5. Malcom Floyd to Retire at Season's End

Malcom Floyd San Diego Chargers — Malcom Floyd has been with the Chargers for his entire career, and the 33-year-old receiver may be ready to call it quits after this season. He has developed a great rapport with Rivers over the years, and with father time catching up to Antonio Gates, this would be a huge blow to the Chargers offense. Floyd is coming off his only season where he played in all 16 games and was targeted 92 times. If he can repeat that, he may stick around in 2016.

3. Rivers' Future in Jeopardy

Philip Rivers San Diego Chargers — If you can believe it, Rivers' future is uncertain with the Chargers. Remember, there were rumors surrounding him on draft day being traded.

For Rivers to stay, the Chargers must prove they can compete in 2015.

2. D.J. Fluker Moving to Guard

D.J. Fluker San Diego Chargers — This rumor stems from the fact that D.J. Fluker just was not that good last year. He allowed seven sacks and 36 hurries from the right tackle position, and with the addition of Joe Barksdale from St. Louis this offseason, the move might be inevitable. He has been getting in better shape this offseason. The only problem is that Fluker has never played guard before, so this will be something to watch closely when the Chargers report for camp.

1. Moving To L.A.

Qualcomm Stadium San Diego — This is by far the most talked about rumor around the San Diego Chargers, and maybe even around the NFL. There's no doubt that a team will be moving to L.A. in the near future, and San Diego will be at the forefront of the discussion. It doesn't help that a recent poll showed that the people of San Diego care more about Comic-Con than the Chargers.
