The Indianapolis Colts were put in a precarious situation when Philip Rivers announced his retirement early on in the offseason.
Not only did the decision shock almost everyone in the organization, but there (at the time) wasn’t a clearcut option they could target to succeed him.
As we know, the Colts ultimately ended up acquiring Carson Wentz from the Eagles in exchange for a 2021 third-round pick and a conditional second-rounder in 2022 that could morph into a first-rounder if he meets certain playing incentives next season.
