Jim Irsay has an idea of what the Indianapolis Colts need at quarterback this offseason.

"The type of team we have, it would really benefit us most if we could have someone who can come in and play at a high level, with a veteran vision," Irsay said.

The Colts are looking for a quarterback once again after Philip Rivers announced his retirement earlier this month.

The Indianapolis Colts have hired Marcus Brady as offensive coordinator.

Brady was previously quarterbacks coach.

Brady will replace Nick Sirianni, who was hired by the Philadelphia Eagles as head coach.

Philip Rivers has announced his retirement from the NFL after 17 seasons.

"It's just time," Rivers told the Union-Tribune. "It's just right."

Rivers played in 244 games, starting 240 of those contests.

The 39-year-old finishes his career ranked fifth all-time with 63,440 passing yards and 421 touchdown passes.

"I can sit here and say, 'I can still throw it. I love to play,'" Rivers said. "But that's always going to be there. I'm excited to go coach high school football."

Indianapolis Colts tackle Anthony Castonzo has announced his retirement from the NFL.

The 10-year veteran started all 144 career regular season games and eight postseason contests he appeared in since being selected with the 22nd overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft.

Jared Veldheer started at left tackle for the Indianapolis Colts in their Wildcard game at the Buffalo Bills and has signed with the Green Bay Packers.

Veldheer will become the first player in NFL history to play postseason games for two different playoff teams in the same season.

Veldheer is allowed to sign with Green Bay because he was on the Colts' practice squad and was elevated only for the Colts' playoff game and not signed to the 53-man roster.

The Packers lost left tackle David Bakhtiari to a torn ACL in practice leading up to the regular season finale.
