I hate him, but I hate Brissett starting for us even more.

Ian Rapoport‏Verified account @RapSheet
The #Colts get their deal done, agreeing to terms with QB Philip Rivers, source said. He gets roughly $25M. The bolo lands in Indy, while Indy continues its restocking with big pieces on both sides of the ball.


Adam Schefter‏Verified account @AdamSchefter
Former Chargers' QB Philip Rivers and the Colts reached agreement on a 1-year deal, per source.



1 year deal, Colts must have something in mind for one of the 2nd round picks.

Or they just decided to do it one year at a time. Rivers could still sign another one year deal next year, but I'm sure the Colts will be looking for another QB in the draft still.

I have no big issues with this. Brissett wasn't the answer, and it's only for a year with cap space they have to burn.

Well here's hoping he doesn't suck. They are making it clear, however, that they have no faith in Brissett, so they'll have to find their QB of the future quickly.

One year is surprising. And weird under the circumstances. Kinda like the Funchess signing in a way. I'd like to know who was pushing for the short term contract. Maybe there's an option year.

This feels to me like Irsay's influence vs. Ballard strategy......still, I'm happy it's just one year. We still need to find a long term solution and if we don't find that in this year's draft we can extend Rivers for another year or two while we continue to draft.
