Why Philip Rivers is a better fit for Colts blueprint at quarterback

IndyStar Colts Insider Jim Ayello dives into the good and the bad after the Colts signed veteran quarterback Philip Rivers Indianapolis Star

INDIANAPOLIS — The rumor has become a reality.

Philip Rivers is coming to Indianapolis, reuniting the longtime Chargers star with head coach Frank Reich and offensive coordinator Nick Sirianni in the kind of blockbuster move that almost certainly ends Jacoby Brissett’s time as starting quarterback.

Rivers and the Colts agreed to a one-year deal worth $25 million, a source told IndyStar on Tuesday, but the veteran quarterback later told the NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah that he believes he’s got a lot of good football left in him, and he hopes this is only the first of several years in Indianapolis.
