Los Angeles Chargers - Philip Rivers
Philip Rivers will stick around for at least another season for a Chargers team that ended 2017 with nine wins in 12 games thanks to an efficient offense and one of the best defenses in the NFL.

Derek Carr's injury history doesn't favor him given his performance late in the 2017 season, but there's no reason to believe he can't lead the Raiders deep into the playoffs if healthy.
Denver Broncos - Kirk Cousins
Kirk Cousins had arguably his best game of the 2017 season for the Redskins in their win over the Broncos and their top-tier defense. Consider that game a successful audition.
