NFL quarterback Philip Rivers, whose 16-year tenure with the Chargers ended in February, is reportedly heading to the Indianapolis Colts. NFL network reported Tuesday that Rivers and the Colts have agreed to a one-year, $25 million deal, which could be finalized on Wednesday under the NFL's free agency rules. The Chargers announced in February that they were parting ways with the 38-year-old veteran, an eight-time Pro-Bowler who is sixth in the overall NFL standings for passing yards with 59,271. Rivers guided the Chargers to six playoff appearances, but endured a disappointing 2019 campaign as the Chargers finished bottom of the AFC West at 5-11. The Colts have been without a star quarterback since the surprise retirement of Andrew Luck prior to the 2019 season. Jacoby Brissett, who stepped in as starter and got the Colts off to a 5-2 start last season collapsed in the second half as Indianapolis went 2-7 the rest of the way. bb/rcw
