Cam Newton calls Colts’ Rivers move “a slap in my face”

The former MVP says Indy signing 44-year-old Philip Rivers before even calling him was disrespectful. On his 4th&1 podcast, Cam insisted he’s never retired and is “ready,” questioning why he’s held to a different standard while Rivers returns from five years out. Meanwhile, the Colts have officially added Rivers to the practice squad as they navigate QB injuries. Fair or not, Indy made its choice—now we find out if Rivers has juice left…and if Cam gets a call next. #Colts #CamNewton #PhilipRivers #NFL #QBNews

Gronk Doubts Rivers’ Colts Comeback

Colts fans, what do you think about the team bringing back the legendary Philip Rivers? With the playoff race heating up and the QB room in shambles, Indy is rolling the dice on the veteran. But 4-time champ Gronk isn’t buying it—he called Rivers’ return “absurd” and doubts the old Charger has enough left in the tank after years away. Could Rivers prove the doubters wrong, or is this a desperation move? #Sports #Football #Colts

Jones shows pure class after injury hell

That Instagram post from DJ just hit different. Dude tears his Achilles in the most brutal non-contact way possible, season over, and he's still thanking everyone and hyping up his teammates? Pure class. The way he crumpled on that field against Jacksonville was gut-wrenching - you could see the devastation immediately. Now we're rolling with 44-year-old Philip Rivers while watching an 8-2 start crumble into a three-game skid. At least Jones showed he's got the heart of a true horseshoe warrior. What's your take on how DJ handled this nightmare scenario? #Sports #Football #Colts

Colts’ New QB Is Older Than His Coaches

Philip Rivers (44) just joined Indy…and he’s older than HC Shane Steichen (40) and OC Jim Bob Cooter (41). For bonus perspective: his new center Tanor Bortolini was 1 year, 10 months old when Rivers was drafted. Vintage arm, baby-faced sideline. Football is wild. #NFL #Colts #PhilipRivers #ShaneSteichen #JimBobCooter #TanorBortolini #QBNews

Colts’ QB search takes wild turn with Rivers

Philip Rivers is back in the NFL at 44, but that’s not even the wildest part of the Colts’ week. Before signing Rivers, the Colts actually tried to bring back Sam Ehlinger—who surprisingly turned them down to stay on the Broncos’ practice squad. Imagine turning down a shot at the starting job for a 10-2 team’s practice squad! Ehlinger says he’s happy in Denver and likes what they’re building. What do you think—would you have made the same call, or jumped at the chance to return to Indy? #Sports #Football #Colts

Colts Pick Rivers Over Matty Ice: Right Call?

So the Colts reached out to Philip Rivers—on his 44th birthday, no less—instead of giving Matty Ice another shot. As a Falcons fan, I get the outrage, but let’s be real: Ryan’s 2022 stint in Indy was rough, and he seems happy on TV now. Still, it’s wild to see the Colts chasing Rivers, who’s four years older! Is this about legacy, or just Ballard trusting Rivers more? #Sports #Football #Colts

Colts Eye Sam Ehlinger, But He Stays a Bronco

Wild week for Indy fans—after losing both Daniel Jones and Riley Leonard, the Colts tried to lure Sam Ehlinger back from the Broncos’ practice squad. But Sam’s all-in on Sean Payton’s Mile High rebuild, even as QB3! Instead, Indy’s dusting off Philip Rivers (yes, at 44!) and bumping up Brett Rypien. Can the Horseshoe stay in the playoff hunt, or will this QB carousel spin out? #Sports #Football #Colts

Colts Pick Rivers Over Cam: Right Call?

So the Colts, desperate for a QB after losing Daniel Jones and with Anthony Richardson on IR, reached out to 44-year-old Philip Rivers instead of Superman Cam Newton. Cam called it a "slap in my face" on his show, especially since Rivers didn’t even hint at a comeback. Sure, Rivers knows the Colts’ system, but is age just a number, or did Indy make the safe play? Is Cam’s personality really too much for the league, or did the Colts just want a familiar face? #Sports #Football #Colts

Sam Ehlinger reportedly turned down a Colts return to back up Philip Rivers

Per reports, Denver practice-squad QB Sam Ehlinger declined Indy’s offer to rejoin the Colts after Daniel Jones’ Achilles injury. He told The Denver Post he’s “really happy” in Denver and wants to stay with what they’re building. The Colts hoped to add Ehlinger alongside Philip Rivers—but landed only Rivers. #NFL #Colts #Broncos #SamEhlinger #PhilipRivers #QBNews
