While the NFL Draft prospects at the 2020 Scouting Combine are the main attraction right now, free agency buzz that’s heating up continues to draw many people’s attention.
One of the bigger storylines is the potential destination for former Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers. According to NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport, the Indianapolis Colts are linked as the top fit for the 38-year old.
“It seems right now the most logical spot would be the Indianapolis Colts, who haven’t ruled out anything, may be in the quarterback market, who have Jacoby Brissett—they have to make some decisions on—and still may draft a quarterback,” Rapoport said. “Right now, that seems like the most logical spot for Rivers and if not there, it’s kind of anyone’s guess where else.”
The most important thing to note is that Rapoport didn’t say that they’re showing interest at the moment. It’s still a bit early, but it wouldn’t be surprising if Indianapolis is aggressive to try to acquire him when free agency begins on March 18.
Rivers is familiar with head coach Frank Reich and offensive coordinator Nick Sirianni. Along with that, the Colts play indoors, have several playmakers on offense and one of the league’s best offensive lines to keep the veteran signal-caller on his feet.
