| 2 | SAN DIEGO (AP) -- Philip Rivers and the San Diego Chargers have agreed to a four-year contract extension. |
| 3 | The question is, will the quarterback finish his career in San Diego or Los Angeles? |
| 4 | The Chargers announced the extension Saturday night. |
| 5 | The deal reportedly is worth $84 million, with $65 million guaranteed. |
| 6 | Rivers, 33 and the team's starter since 2006, is entering the final year of a $93 million, six-year extension he signed in August 2009. |
| 7 | The extension comes as team chairman Dean Spanos has angered many Chargers fans by exploring a move to the Los Angeles area. |
| 8 | The Chargers walked away from negotiations for a new stadium in San Diego in mid-June. |
| 9 | Mayor Kevin Faulconer has said that if the sides haven't agreed to a term sheet by Sept. |
| 10 | 11, there won't be a special election in January. |
| 11 | The Chargers have partnered with their archrivals, the Oakland Raiders, on plans for a $1.7 billion stadium in Carson if they can't get new stadiums in their home markets. |
| 12 | On Tuesday, Carmen Policy, who is spearheading Carson stadium efforts, told NFL owners that ''the Chargers and Raiders are committed to Los Angeles.'' The Carson project is competing with a stadium project in Inglewood backed by St. Louis Rams owner Stan Kroenke. |
| 13 | Earlier this year, Rivers didn't seem keen on moving to L.A. if the team moved. |
| 14 | He has said he'd be OK playing out his current deal, but also said he'd be open to an extension, as long as talks didn't drag out into the season. |
| 15 | Rivers played through back and chest injuries in 2014. |
| 16 | He was sacked seven times in a season-ending loss at Kansas City that cost the Chargers a playoff berth. |
| 17 | He was obtained in a draft-day deal with the New York Giants in 2004 for Eli Manning, whose family had said he didn't want to play for San Diego. |
| 18 | Rivers became the starter in 2006 after Drew Brees was allowed to leave as a free agent. |
| 19 | Rivers has started 144 straight regular-season games, the second-longest active streak behind Manning's 168, and thrown for 36,655 yards. |
| 20 | His 252 career touchdown passes are two short of the team record set by Hall of Famer Dan Fouts. |
| 21 | The QB led the Chargers to four straight AFC West titles from 2006-09 and to a wild-card berth in 2013. |
| 22 | The one thing lacking in his career has been a Super Bowl title. |
| 23 | Manning and Pittsburgh's Ben Roethlisberger, the other big-name quarterback taken in the 2004 draft, each have won two Super Bowls. |
| 24 | Brees led New Orleans to a Super Bowl title after the 2009 season. |
| 25 | The deepest the Chargers have gone in the playoffs behind Rivers is the AFC championship game following the 2007 season. |
| 26 | Rivers gamely played after tearing a ligament in his right knee in the divisional round, but the Chargers lost 21-12 at New England. |
