The first round came and went Thursday night with Philip Rivers remaining a San Diego Charger, ending a month of speculation that the veteran quarterback would be moved.

A big reason for the speculation was a lack of progress in contract extension talks between Rivers and the Chargers, a subject which Rivers addressed Friday.

"A lot of moving parts and lots to think about," Rivers said, according to Kevin Acee of UT-San Diego. "Location, family, team … All I can say at this point regarding an extension is I'm willing to listen to anything. I'm also willing to play it out. I'm just fired up to be the Chargers QB in 2015."

The main trade rumor surrounding Rivers would have seen the quarterback shipped off to the Tennessee Titans along with the team's No. 17 overall selection in exchange for the No. 2 overall selection, which the Chargers would have used to draft Marcus Mariota.

Instead, the Chargers traded up only two spots and picked running back Melvin Gordon out of Wisconsin - a player Rivers is familiar with.

"I watched Melvin on many Saturday night highlights," Rivers said. "… It's exciting. We have a great group of backs. We are at our best when 50-50 run/pass. This group gives us a great chance to be that."
