Philip Rivers considered retirement this offseason before deciding to continue his career and sign with the Indianapolis Colts on a one-year, $25 million deal.

"I think really where we settled in is I still love to play, certainly not coming off my best year [in 2019], but I know I still can play at a high level," Rivers said. "... It was one of those deals where we said if there's nothing else out there then that'll be our answer. I don't want to just try to hang on to play.

"The fact it ended up being with this organization, it made it that much more exciting to keep going," he added.

ESPN had interest in Rivers for Monday Night Football.
