Rivers doesn't plan on retiring soon, but won't overstay his welcome

Entering his 14th season in the NFL, Philip Rivers has put together a potential Hall of Fame-worthy career.

While the Los Angeles Chargers quarterback doesn't plan on ending his run soon, he'll walk away from the game if he's no longer able to contribute on the field.

"I don't want hang on at the end and just be a guy that's hanging on," Rivers told ESPN's Adam Schefter on his podcast. "But if I still feel like I can help a team and I enjoy it the way I do and more importantly, if the team feels that I can help them. ...

"I don't see myself shutting it down any time real soon."

Rivers, 35, has three years remaining on his current contract and hasn't been discouraged from continuing with the Chargers as they relocate to Hollywood this season.

"I'm excited about the challenge and the newness and the unknown that's going to come with being in a new community and playing in a new stadium," said Rivers. "But we're going to still have that bolt on my helmet and I'm excited about what's ahead."

Rivers has a plan once he does finally decide to end his playing career, however, as he hopes to coach his sons' high school football teams. Though, that could be some time away considering that his oldest boy is only 9 years old.
