Philip Rivers says he is not closing the doors to the NFL this season; The 39-year-old said, “I’ll just be ready … I don’t predict what I will play in December or January, for that matter. First, you have to have someone who wants you, and second, it has to be right. ”
Philip Rivers is set to start his first season as Alabama high school head coach, but the eight-time Pro Bowl quarterback does not rule out a return to the NFL later this season.
“I’ll just be ready,” Rivers said. “I want to make sure I’m very clear: I’m not predicting what will play in December or January, for that matter. First, you must have someone who wants you, and second, it must be right.
“But I haven’t completely ruled out that.”
Air conditioning can be a problem if Rivers isn’t in NFL training camp. He pointed out that he is currently not in a playful way.
“I’m not quite there,” Rivers said. “I’m going back there. I wouldn’t have gained weight if I had to show up (to training camp) last week, that’s for sure. The balls are here in this heat. It’s not that hard to lather well.”

Rivers spent the first 16 seasons of his Chargers career – 13 seasons in San Diego, three in Los Angeles.
