Brees, Rivers.....they always go in threes, right? Waiting anxiously for the Brady announcement. Hoping that comes sooner than later.

Rivers is not going anywhere til the Dolts either trade or draft a QB.

Rumor has it in Indy is that they want to draft a QB and try to keep Rivers ($25M). If they trade, Rivers is still a free agent but the Dolt's will not court him.

I expect them to do both trade and draft and dump rivers as he will just go to the booth.

Um, Rivers retired today. He's already done.

The year he played in the AFC Championship vs Brady, when the Pat's were at that time 17-0, when Rivers gutted it out with a, what, partially torn MCL or meniscus or some such shit?

I don't remember the injury, but he was a warrior and a healthy Rivers may have beaten those paper tiger Pats chumps before the Giants did...gutsy performance.

Also, Halloween 2011 was a fun one, when he fumbled on the kneel down to give us a win.

Gonna miss ol' Bolo Phyllis and his Riversceptions...

sorry not informed. Colts make a move?

I am betting Dolts told him that he will not get "paid" in 2021

Nope. He just dropped it on them.

I’ll never forget lining up for a play and Phil pointing to one of our linebackers and telling him he was lined up wrong based off the blitz we were about to run and being 100% correct about it haha.

One of the smartest I’ve ever played against and a hell of a competitor. https://t.co/1AZxyvDafu

Much respect for the man. He had a very good career and could be a pain for the Chiefs at times.

But honestly, I will miss the laughs and memes more than his play!

Nah, they met directly after the season and both agreed that Phil would take a week to decide what he wanted to do.
