Philip Rivers hopes to still be playing for the Los Angeles Chargers when they open their new stadium for the 2020 season.

Rivers turns 36 in December and is under contract through the 2019 season.

"I hope to still be playing football in 2020, and certainly I hope I'm still playing here," Rivers said. "So yeah, I hope to get to see that stadium then. That's a long way out. I've learned to just take them one year at a time and one game at a time at this point. I'm certainly thankful I've been able to be out there for all of them since 2006.

"I don't take that for granted. And hopefully I'm still playing well enough and we've won enough football games that I will be able to trot out there in 2020 in that new stadium."
