Chargers signed QB Philip Rivers to a six-year, $92 million extension through 2015.
$38-39 million is guaranteed. The Giants guaranteed Eli Manning $35M, but his annual average is $16.25M. Rivers' is only $15.33M, making it a pretty good deal for GM A.J. Smith. Rivers doesn't have the ring, but is clearly the superior passer in terms of accuracy, efficiency, and aggressiveness. Eli might have a stronger arm, but Rivers is much better going down the field.

Wow.
If there’s any guy on that team that didn’t deserve that much cash, it’s Rivers.
I wouldn’t have batted an eyelash had Gates gotten that kind of green, nor if Tomlinson had gotten that cash in his previous deal. But Rivers? Huh. Yikes. Best of luck with that, Chargers.
One day, David Backes and Albert Pujols will combine forces to become the most awesome piece of violent force known to man.
