In the last week, Bill Barnwell of Mut 23 coins ESPN broke down how in the lottery-like draft "the best strategy is to buy more tickets." The RG3 deal was possibly one of the most effective examples of this every time. The losers of the deal appear to be unwilling to learn that lesson. Perhaps it will work, but the Rams must be aware.

The Chargers could trade Philip Rivers, but they'd most likely mess up the deal too. LaDainian Tomlinson believes that the Chargers should trade Philip Rivers. According to Tomlinson, the Chargers are in rebuild mode and should consider trading Philip Rivers instead of ruin his entire career. Are they realistic?

It makes some sense at first glance. The Chargers are, once again an absolute mess, losing three games , in painful manner after blowing 4th-quarter leads. Rivers isn't part of the issue. He's making 68 percent of passes. He averages 7.8 yards per effort with 1.110 yards. He's also scored seven touchdowns and one interception.

The Chargers signed Rivers to a four-year, renewal worth $83 million last year, but their structure for the deal isn't prohibitive for him to be traded. The cap hit doesn't top $22 million until last year, but it's simple for teams to get out of the contract after 2018.

There's also the possibility that the Chargers really require the most support from fans they can get ... something they're not very good at after losing so much lately in the Bosa standoff, and the threat to alienate fans with the relocation. If they can get rid of Mike McCoy and make the correct moves in the offseason, they could be competitive again sooner than you think. However, that's definitely a huge leap of faith for this team who hasn't been able to buy mut coins madden 23 do any good things, in the field or off.
