Volek Still Backing Up Rivers
The Chargers made a great move today by bringing back veteran Billy Volek to remain backup to Philip Rivers. We know Rivers is going to be rehabbing that knee all summer. It’s a great move to bring someone back who knows the system and has proven he can play. Remember Volek came in during that Indianapolic playoff game and helped the Chargers advance to the AFC Championship game?
Volek is a star, but the Chargers needed that insurance in case Rivers isn’t ready to go come August/September. I think Rivers will be fine, but you never know when a setback might happen. It’s best to be safe and prepared in case Philip’s knee isn’t the same.
Volek was signed to a 3 year deal (undisclosed amount), but probably around $7 million.
