Colts’ full intentions are to keep Jacoby Brissett, I'm told. His contract calls for $7M guarantee tomorrow and $6M salary, so perhaps that affects some things, but the team considers him a special guy and wants him in the fold.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported on Tuesday that Indy had agreed with Rivers on a one-year contract worth "roughly" $25 million.
