"In case you missed it, the Indianapolis Colts signed a Pro Football Hall of Fame semifinalist five years after he retired to help deal with a rapidly imploding crisis. Rivers is in the building primarily to mentor rookie Riley Leonard, with whom he has a good relationship. The Colts are without their top two quarterbacks, and their playoff hopes are rapidly diminishing."
"At 41, the former Maryland and San Francisco 49ers' star is the same age as Marcedes Lewis, who may well be playing tight end for the Denver Broncos in the playoffs this year. And Vernon Davis was always a physical marvel. True, he hasn't played since 2019, and in that final season, he appeared in only four games and caught 10 passes."
Philip Rivers returned to the NFL at age 44 when the Indianapolis Colts signed him five years after retirement to address a quarterback crisis. Rivers joined primarily to mentor rookie Riley Leonard and could play amid the Colts' loss of their top two quarterbacks and fading playoff hopes. Former Washington Commanders veterans are proposed as hypothetical comeback candidates. Vernon Davis, age 41, offers physicality and veteran tight end experience despite limited play since 2019. Brian Orakpo recorded three Pro Bowls and 40 sacks in six Washington seasons. Von Miller leads the Commanders with six sacks.
