colts reach 1 year deal with Rivers

[1965southpaw]

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.

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.

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.

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.

Do you think they actually have confidence in Kelly for the future? He's still on the team for some reason.

Probably not, the guy was a 7th round pick wasn't he. I wouldn't get my hopes up. Future XFL starter.

7th rounder due to off field issues . His college resume is pretty good. Just a mess off field

The Colts just gave Brissett a tremendous kick in the nuts !!!

I guess I’ll go with it. One year was the best I could hope for. It’s not like Ballard mortgaged the future to make this a playoff team again. Show me, Phil.

I'm not sure if Rivers is the answer. But this and Buckner trade were definitely win now now moves.

I like winning now!

To me it's more of a "do something now or LOS will be half empty" sort of move. At least now it's interesting. Another year of Jacoby would have been a snooze fest. Thirty two games as starting QB was enough to show what he is. Not his fault though. He never should have been in that position to begin with.
