After a difficult 2019 for the Colts from the quarterback position, Philip Rivers arrived at Lucas Oil Stadium to give stability to the organization. However, this reassurance could be short-lived.
According to information from The Athletic, Rivers assured that the idea of retirement is something he has in mindEspecially if the 10-5 Colts miss out on the postseason.
“It does cross my mind. If things don’t go the way you want this weekend, it could be. I think it’s healthy to keep that in mind because there is nothing guaranteed in the future, “explained the 39-year-old quarterback.
Regarding what the fate holds for Rivers, for free agency in 2021 the North Carolina State graduate will hit the player market after sign a one-year, $ 25 million deal with the Colts.
A contract extension doesn’t seem far-fetched either. A couple of weeks ago coach Frank Reich said that veteran Rivers has a few more years of good level. This would help the maturing of rookie Jacob Eason.
The possibilities in Indianapolis
