Rivers not pushing for trade, fine with move to L.A.

Orlando Ramirez / USA TODAY Sports

Rumors that Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers is trying to force a trade away from the team are false, Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Acee spoke to Rivers and confirmed that the veteran passer has no issue with moving to play in Los Angeles. Acee also pointed out that Rivers has a no-trade clause in his contract.

The rumor of Rivers' unhappiness with the move originated from a tweet by a Bay Area journalist who claimed he heard the San Francisco 49ers were interested in trading for Rivers.

The 49ers don't even have a head coach or general manager, so trading for a quarterback would be awfully hard to pull off.
