Around the NFL: Colts land Rivers

Philip Rivers has agreed to a one-year deal with the Colts, and I like the fit. They’ve got the right line and the right system for him to probably punch out one more season with top-10 passing numbers.  more »

Around the NFL: Philip Rivers

Philip Rivers to the Colts is the rumor du jour, and it's a fit that could make a lot of sense for both sides. Old and decrepit though he may be, Rivers is a better passer even now than Jacoby Brissett. And the Colts have the ability to give Rivers the kind of protection he needs to thrive.   more »

Factoid: Philip Rivers, Part II

Earlier in the week I ran an item on free-agent-to-be Philip Rivers, who's thrown more interceptions over the last five years than anyone but Jameis Winston. The Bucs are one of his prospective suitors, and there will no doubt be others. It's a Hall of Fame career he's had, and somebody will attempt to tap into that.   more »
