The switch from quarterback Philip Rivers to the Indianapolis Colts is perfect.

The move from quarterback Philip Rivers to the Indianapolis Colts is perfect. This was confirmed by the team on Saturday. The 38-year-old Rivers had previously played for the Los Angeles and San Diego Chargers for 16 years.

In total he reached the playoffs six times with the Chargers, eight times he was voted into the Pro Bowl. Last season was disappointing with only five wins and eleven defeats.

The Colts did not publish financial details. According to media reports, Rivers is to receive a one-year contract that will earn him $25 million.

The Colts were surprised by the sudden resignation of their long-time playmaker Andrew Luck before the start of last season. Their direct successor was Jacoby Brissett, who was unable to lead the team from the state of Indiana into the playoffs after a weak second half of the season.
