NFL News OT: Colts sign Phillip Rivers

[BennyBledsoe]

I'm laughing at the idea that anybody thinks his family, and especially his wife, wasn't glad to see him go 10 freakin' kids.

lets not foolishly talk about the money this season. dude earned almost $250m in his career.

This too. That and he just made 300k for 3 hours work.

I think most 44 year olds would jump at that chance.

You have to ask what happened to the $250 million he made in his career.

Or is he just being a total ****ing miser here?

I think you misunderstood what I wrote. That should be roughly what he earns for all four games combined. Per Spotrac and OverTheCap, he's earning vet minimum, with a cap hit of about $230K.

$75,000 per flop. Not bad for a day's work.

Or maybe, I don't know, he just loves to play football and took a shot at getting a chance to play one more time.
