Quarterback Philip Rivers is headed to the Indianapolis Colts on a one-year deal worth $25 million. Until now, he spent 16 seasons with the Chargers, who, before moving to Los Angeles in 2017, were in San Diego.

San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch is from San Diego. He recently shared a story from 2017 with Matt Barrows of The Athletic that involved the former Chargers quarterback.

Barrows shared a story on why the 49ers executive might owe Rivers hundreds of dollars. It involves the under-wraps meeting between himself, team CEO Jed York, Paraag Marathe, and then-Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan, as the 49ers were seeking a new general manager and head coach.
