Philip Rivers is currently on a practice-squad deal with the Indianapolis Colts, so his pay is calculated weekly rather than as a big multi‑year contract. The exact figure for his personal agreement has not been publicly disclosed, but it should fall within the standard veteran practice‑squad range.
Current 2025 deal
Reports indicate that Rivers has signed to the Colts’ practice squad for the 2025 season after coming out of retirement. Practice‑squad contracts are generally week‑to‑week and can change if a player is promoted to the active roster.
Weekly salary range
Veteran players with more than two accrued seasons on an NFL practice squad in 2025 earn roughly between 17,500 and 22,000 dollars per week under the league’s tiered system. Rivers’ compensation is expected to fall within that range unless adjusted by team‑specific clauses such as higher pay if he is elevated to the active roster.
Past Colts contract (reference)
For context, when Rivers previously joined the Colts in 2020, he signed a one‑year, fully guaranteed contract worth 25 million dollars, which included a 12 million signing bonus and a 13 million base salary. That earlier deal has expired and is separate from his current practice‑squad arrangement.
